§ MR. LABOUCHERE (Northampton)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that a second lieutenant of the Second Life Guards was roughly handled by certain of the officers of that regiment, and his quarters damaged by them; whether he can inform the House of the reason of this attack; and if an inquiry into the matter has been, or, if not, will be, instituted, and the implicated persons punished."
§ MAJOR RASCH (Essex, Chelmsford)Before the right hon. Gentleman answers, may I ask whether, in his opinion, this alleged outrage has not been grossly exaggerated both in the Question and in the Press.
§ MR. BRODRICKThe answer to both Questions is that the case is being investigated by a Board of officers.
