§ MR. LABOUCHEREI beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he can say if the Major Armstrong, who is stated in the evidence submitted to the Committee of the House on the Hungarian Horse Contracts as being connected with a South African Company, engaged in purchasing horses at Cyrebadka, at the time when the Leveson contract was being carried out there, was employed in Hungary in any capacity by the War Office; and if so, in what capacity. And, whether he can throw any light upon the nature of this South African Company, or upon what became of the horses imported from Hungary into South Africa by this Company.
LORD STANLEYI have already told the hon. Member that I have no information as regards either the company or the officer mentioned.
