§ MR. DILLONAm I to understand that the right hon. Gentleman approves of Sir Forestier Walker's acting as a director of this Company, which has contracts with the Government?
§ MR. BRODRICKIt is not my duty to express my approval, or otherwise, of the action of an officer on half-pay in any matter which does not come under the jurisdiction of the War Office.
