§ MR. LLOYD-GEORGEOn behalf of the hon. Member for the Eifion Division of Carnarvonshire, I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he will impress Lord Kitchener with the importance of securing to General Kritzinger ample facilities for producing his witnesses at his trial; and, in the event of 170 that being impossible, owing to the witnesses being engaged in the field with the Boer Army, to have the trial postponed until the conclusion of hostilities.
§ MR. BRODRICKI should like to refer to a Question addressed to me on Friday last — whether General Kritzinger's trial had begun. I said I did not know whether it had. On Saturday I received a telegram stating that the trial had begun. Lord Kitchener will certainly take care that General Kritzinger has ample facilities for producing witnesses at his trial, and that justice is secured to him. All such trials are carefully conducted and the sentences and evidence submitted to Sir Richard Solomon before confirmation. It is not necessary to give any special instructions.
