§ 16. Mr. KINGasked 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 WARDIs there any reason why those figures should not be looked up?
§ Colonel SEELYI 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. WARDI shall repeat the question.
