HC Deb 02 May 1901 vol 93 cc404-5
MR. SWIFT MACNEILL

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he can state the name of the officer whose inefficient scouting was the cause of the Sannah's Post reverse; and why his name has been withheld from the public.

MR. BRODRICK

No, Sir. I do not know to what officer the hon. Member alludes, and I am not prepared to add in any way to the full information already laid before the House.
