HC Deb 24 May 1901 vol 94 cc1108-9
MR. DILLON () Mayo, E.

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he has yet received information as to the condition of the camps in Cape Colony.

MR. BRODRICK

I am informed that in Cape Colony the numbers of refugees in camp on the 14th instant amounted to 365, and up to date four children had died. I have no other information.

MR. DILLON

Cannot the right hon. Gentleman obtain the same information with regard to the camps in Cape Colony as those in the Orange Free State and the Transvaal?

MR. BRODRICK

Yes; but I am afraid I have given the hon. Member all the information I possess. I am expecting more by mail.
