§ SIR JOHN GORST (Cambridge University)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether Lord Kitchener has recently sent to the Commander-in-Chief a supplementary list of nine officers whose claims had been overlooked, and whom he now recommends for recognition for distinguished services whilst serving under his command in South Africa; if so, whether Lord Kitchener's recommendations will be carried out; and whether the names of the nine officers will be published in a supplementary Gazette.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Brodrick.) I am not aware that Lord Kitchener has taken such action. The list of officers for distinction in connection with South Africa has long been closed.
