EARL of RONALDSHAYI beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for War what steps are being taken to relieve the suspense and anxiety of those who have relatives serving in the British Expeditionary Force?
§ Mr. TENNANTNo list of casualties has come in yet.
§ Mr. RUPERT GWYNNEWill the right hon. Gentleman say when he expects the list?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThat is an absurd question to ask. Sir John French has reported that, owing to the extended front on which the operations took place, it is difficult to compile a list. It would be most cruel to issue one that is imperfect.
