HC Deb 31 March 1914 vol 60 cc1004-5
22. Mr. OUTHWAITE

asked the Secretary of State for War if, on the occasion of Imperial troops killing twenty men and wounding several hundred people in the streets of Johannesburg in July last, any officers tendered their resignations or threatened to do so?

Sir E. GREY

I have no reason to believe that any resignations were tendered on the occasion referred to.

Mr. JAMES HOPE

In the recent disturbances in South Africa were any Imperial troops employed?

Sir E. GREY

That question should be addressed to the Colonial Office.
