§ SIR C. HILL (Shrewsbury)I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies why no allusion is made in the latest Report on the Somaili Protectorate to the military forces of the Protectorate, as is usual in similar Reports on the African Protectorates; and whether he will lay before the House a statement showing the number and nature of the troops now in the Protectorate and the stations at which they are posted.
§ COLONEL SEELYIt has not been thought desirable to publish the information referred to in the annual Report.
