§ DR. THOMPSON () Monaghan, N.I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he will explain why the 1st Battalion of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers has been detained in Africa, notwithstanding their services and losses and the fact that the regiment served during the whole campaign in South Africa, seeing that the Brigade of Guards has been brought home.
LORD STANLEYWill the hon. Member kindly refer to my reply to a similar question put by the hon. Member for Midlothian on the 27th ultimo?†
