HC Deb 11 March 1902 vol 104 c1005
MR. DAVID THOMAS (Merthyr Tydvil)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he can state when the promised Return, including information as to the proceedings of the court-martial which condemned Commandant Scheepers, will be issued to Members, and if such Return will state the circumstances attending the execution of Commandant Scheepers and his condition of health at that time.

MR. BRODRICK

The Return will, I hope, shortly be ready. The reply to the second sentence is in the negative.

MR. SWIFT MACNEILL (Donegal, S.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he will request Lord Kitchener to furnish a statement of the circumstances attending the execution of Commandant Scheepers on the 18th January.

MR. BRODRICK

I have nothing to add to the reply which I gave the hon. Member yesterday.†
