§ MR. CHARLES HOBHOUSEI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether 31 General Truman, Inspector-General of Remounts, has tendered his resignation or has been called upon to tender his resignation by the Secretary of State or the Commander-in-Chief.
§ MR. BRODRICKI told the House that General Truman, in consequence of the observations made upon him in connection with these remount questions, asked for a Court of Inquiry into his conduct. That Court will shortly assemble, and no further action has been taken in the matter pending that inquiry, either by General Truman or the Commander-in-Chief.
§ MR. CHARLES HOBHOUSEThe right hon. Gentleman has not answered my Question. It was, whether General Truman had tendered his resignation or had been called upon to tender his resignation by the Secretary of State or the Commander-in-Chief.
§ MR. BRODRICKThe Question is answered by saying that General Truman asked for a Court of Inquiry.
§ MR. CHARLES HOBHOUSEI must press for an answer. Has General Truman tendered his resignation or been asked to tender his resignation by the Secretary of State or the Commander-in Chief?
§ MR. BRODRICKCommunications passed between General Truman and the Commander-in-Chief, the result of which was that General Truman asked for a Court of Inquiry.
