HC Deb 10 June 1907 vol 175 c1067
MR. LEA (St. Pancras, E.)

I bog to ask the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been drawn to certain proceedings of Brigadier-General Carter arising out of the affairs of the garrison club at Harrismith, and what action he proposes taking in this matter; and will he undertake that the officers who signed the minute in the suggestion book of the above-named club shall not surfer in any way through the action of the General referred to.

MR. HALDANE

No report of the incident mentioned has been received by the War Office. The General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, South Africa, has been directed to inquire into the circumstances and render a report.

MR. LEA

Will the right hon. Gentleman let us know the nature of the report.

MR. HALDANE

I will communicate with the hon. Member on the subject.
