HC Deb 06 March 1906 vol 153 c293
* MR. STAVELEY HILL (Staffordshire, Kingswinford)

I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will state what reinforcements are to be sent for the punitive expedition in Sokoto.

* MR. CHURCHILL

Two hundred and fifty native troops of the West African Frontier Force have been sent as a precautionary measure into Northern Nigeria from the neighbouring colony of Lagos. It is not anticipated that any further reinforcements will be required.
