§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILL (Donegal, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether the Premier of New Zealand has decided to include 100 Maori warriors in a new contingent which is to be sent by New Zealand to the seat of war in South Africa; and whether having regard to the character of the Maoris, the War Office will refuse to accept the services of the Maori contingent.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. BRODRICK, Surrey, Guildford)I am not aware of any such decision.
