HC Deb 02 May 1901 vol 93 c422
MR. CHARLES HOBHOUSE

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is in a position to lay any Papers upon the Table relating to the expedition against the Ogaden Somalis.

VISCOUNT CRANBORNE

Papers have been got together, and will be laid as soon as a despatch received last week from the officer commanding the Expedition and giving an account of the operations can be got into type.

MR. CHARLES HOBHOUSE

When will they be ready—in a week or ten days?

VISCOUNT CRANBORNE

Before that I hope.
