HC Deb 05 June 1913 vol 53 c1037
60. Mr. HUNT

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the same number of men would be left in this country after the departure of the Expeditionary Force, as he stated would be the case last year?

Colonel SEELY

I would refer the hon. Gentleman to the reply which I gave to a similar question on this subject on the 28th May.

Mr. HUNT

May I ask why the right hon. Gentleman refuses to answer this question when he answered the same question on 26th February last year?

Colonel SEELY

For the reasons I gave on 28th May.
