§ MR. MACVEAGH (Down, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he can state if General Sir Neville Lyttelton has resigned his position as First Military Member of the Army Council and Chief of the General Staff; and, if so, under what circumstances.
§ MR. ARNOLD-FORSTERGeneral Sir Neville Lyttelton has not resigned his position upon the Army Council.
§ MR. MACVEAGHHave any communications passed between the War Office and General Lyttelton as to the advisability of his resigning?
§ MR. ARNOLD-FORSTERGeneral Lyttelton is not attached to the War Office, but to the Army Council.
§ MR. MACVEAGHHas no communication passed as to the effect of the Report on his position?
§ MR. ARNOLD-FORSTERNo, Sir; of course not. General Lyttelton is master of his own actions, and he has not resigned.
§ MR. MACVEAGHYou may as well tell it now. It will all come out any way.
