HC Deb 08 April 1913 vol 51 c977
16. Mr. KING

asked the amount paid for the transport of soldiers, officers, and men to the Peninsular and Oriental Steamship Company during the period when the Earl of Selborne was a Member of the Government?

The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Colonel Seely)

There are no figures available at the War Office to enable me to answer this question.

Mr. JOHN WARD

Is there any reason why those figures should not be looked up?

Colonel SEELY

I do not think we could get all the facts and figures. I will inquire whether they can be obtained, but I do not suppose there is enough material. It is a long time ago.

Mr J. WARD

I shall repeat the question.
