HC Deb 07 June 1901 vol 94 c1317
MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN (Kilkenny)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he can explain why the War Office, when publishing the lists of recent casualties in South Africa, withheld particulars of the battles and dates, and whether he will see that in future particulars of dates, places, and causes of casualties are given.

MR. BRODRICK

All information forwarded in connection with these and other casualties has been and is always published, nothing whatever has been withheld. Dates and other information will be given as far as possible.

MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN

I wish to know, then, whether it is Lord Kitchener who has withheld the information.

MR. SPEAKER

Order, order! That is not the question on the Paper.
