§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILL (Donegal, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that the name of Lord Milner was associated with that of Lord Kitchener in the telegram ordering the arrest and deportation of Miss Hobhouse, which was read to that lady at the time of her arrest; whether he accepts responsibility for Lord Milner's participation in Miss Hobhouse's deportation and arrest; and whether he will lay upon the Table of the House the communications between the Colonial Office and Lord Milner with reference to the deportation and arrest of Miss Hobhouse.
§ MR. J. CHAMBERLAINNo, Sir, I am not aware that the name of Lord Milner was associated with that of Lord Kitchener in the telegram to which the hon. Member refers. The Secretary of State is of course responsible for whatever Lord Milner has done. I am not prepared to lay any Papers.
