HC Deb 04 February 1902 vol 102 c358
MR. DILLON (Mayo, E.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that MRs. Christian de Wet, after her home had been burned by the English troops, was taken prisoner and sent to a concentration camp; whether MRs. De Wet is now in a camp; and, if not, what course have the British authorities adopted in regard to this lady.

THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE WAR OFFICE (LORD STANLEY,) Lancashire, Westhoughton

I have no specific information, but, as far as I am aware, this lady is in a refugee-camp.

MR. DILLON

Is she in the concentration camp now?

LORD STANLEY

Yes, Sir.

MR. DILLON

Scandalous, most scandalous.

MR. SWIFT MACNEILL (Donegal, S.)

And Chamberlain laughs!
