HC Deb 12 July 1909 vol 7 cc1631-2
Mr. ASHLEY

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he can state the grounds on which Mr. W. J. Webber was refused repayment of the moneys expended by him on the direct authority of his commanding officer in South Africa?

Mr. HALDANE

I must ask the hon. Member to refer to the answer given to the hon. and gallant Member for South Antrim on the 7th instant.

Mr. ASHLEY

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the answer given then was that no reason could be given?

Mr. HALDANE

No; I have personally investigated this case.
