HC Deb 21 January 1902 vol 101 cc456-7
SIR ELLIOTT LEES (Birkenhead)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies, whether there is any office in this country where arrears of pay due to men who served in the Pretoria Police, formed in July, 1900, on the occupation of Pretoria, can be recovered; and whether he will take steps to ensure letters addressed to the Commissioner of Police at Pretoria by officers upon this subject receiving a reply without delay.

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

If my hon. and gallant friend will forward to me the particular cases I will have enquiry made.
