HC Deb 05 March 1906 vol 153 c83
MR. JOHN MORLEY

With the permission of the House, I should like to make a short statement with reference to Papers which I laid before the House last Monday concerning Army administration in India. I have received a telegram, which I hope the House will allow me to read, as it will conclude the matter raised in those Papers. I received it on Saturday afternoon from Lord Minto—"Military Administration.—I will at once carry out procedure on the lines indicated. Lord Kitchener asks me to say that the Headquarters Staff will do their best to ensure the successful working of the new organisation, and I am confident of the thorough support of my Council."
