§ MR. HERBERT SAMUEL (Yorkshire, Cleveland)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether all defaulter sheets relating to troops serving in the South African War have yet been received by the War Office; and whether certificates of character can now be given to all soldiers of good conduct discharged from the Army.
§ MR. BRODRICKIt would be impossible to answer this Question without calling for returns from all districts and units at home; and as no complaints on this subject are now being received it is probable that the men are duly receiving their certificates.
