HC Deb 03 July 1905 vol 148 cc763-4
SIR HOWARD VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if, in view of the circumstances of the officers referred to in the Report of the Butler Committee, provision will be made, according to the general rule prevailing in the Civil Service, for the recovery of their costs before the Royal Commission if they are declared blameless.

MR. ARNOLD-FORSTER

This question is receiving the careful consideration of the Government.

SIR HOWARD VINCENT

Will the right hon. Gentleman take care that no injustice is done to these officers?

MR. ARNOLD-FORSTER

Yes, Sir.
