§ MR. C. P. SCOTTI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that on 21st December a transport was despatched from Cape 165 Town for the Bermudas with about 800 Boer prisoners on board, of whom more than half were children of from ten to seventeen years of age; and whether the deportation of children and other innocent persons is sanctioned by the Government.
§ MR. BRODRICKI have no information to this effect. If the hon. Member will furnish me with information substantiating his statements, I will inquire.
