HC Deb 29 April 1902 vol 107 c155
MR. SWIFT MACNEILL

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he will state what are the grounds on which he bases his refusal to publish the evidence submitted to the court-martial by which Lieutenants Handcock and Morant were tried and convicted for the murder of Boers, having regard to his promise of the speedy publication of the evidence submitted to the court-martial by which Commandant Scheepers was tried and convicted of shooting blacks who were acting as spies for the British.

MR. BRODRICK

I have nothing to add to the reply which I gave the hon. Member yesterday.

MR. SWIFT MACNEILL

As the right hon. Gentleman will not give me the information, I shall draw my own conclusions.
