HC Deb 28 July 1915 vol 73 cc2280-1
51. Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

asked the Prime Minister the latest totals of casualties both in Flanders and the Dardanelles?

The PRIME MINISTER

I circulated these figures on Monday in answer to a question addressed by my hon. Friend the Member for Dumfriesshire. An error has been found in the sub-division of the figures, though the total is correct. I shall issue a revised table with the Votes. [See Written Answers this date.]

52. Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

asked the Prime Minister whether the right hon. Gentleman can make any statement as to the progress of our arms in the Dardanelles?

The PRIME MINISTER

I do not think the present time suitable for such a statement. Full reports of recent operations, originating both from the Officer Commanding and from correspondents, have appeared in the Press.

Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

If it is entirely consistent with the public interest, would it be possible during the Recess to make such a statement as might be thought fit?
