HC Deb 15 March 1901 vol 91 c66
MR. YERBURGH

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he can furnish the House with such information as the War Office possesses with regard to the military system of Switzer land as is not of a confidential character

LORD STANLEY

The handbook of the Swiss Army published by the Intelligence Division of the War Office will give my hon. friend all the information he requires. The book can be obtained through any bookseller, and the price is sixpence.

MR. YERBUEGH

In what year was the book published?

LORD STANLEY

I cannot say, but I will show my hon. friend a copy.

MR. YERBURGH

Will the War Office issue it in a cheaper form, so that the general public may be able to study it?

LORD STANLEY

No, Sir, I cannot undertake to do anything of the kind.
