§ MR. SEELY (Lincoln)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether, when the decision was taken not to grant any rewards to the Militia Regiments that were sent to South Africa during 1902, it had been brought to his notice that some of the officers recommended for reward had served in South Africa for long periods prior to the arrival of their regiments; and whether he will reconsider those cases.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Brodrick.) Lord Kitchener dealt with all the cases of officers who served previously to 1902 which were brought to his notice, and they were all dealt with entirely on their merits.
