HC Deb 22 February 1916 vol 80 c565
13. Colonel YATE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War when the dispatches relating to the operations in Egypt during the past year will be published?

Mr. TENNANT

The hon. and gallant Member is presumably referring to the operations which took place in the neighbourhood of the Suez Canal in the early part of last year. These operations were fully described in six long official communiqués issued in February and March, and there is no additional information to be published.

Colonel YATE

Was that information published in the "London Gazette"?

Mr. TENNANT

I think so, but I cannot be certain at this distance of time. It was certainly published in the Press.

Colonel YATE

Will the right hon. Gentleman see that the dispatches are published in the "London Gazette"?

Mr. TENNANT

I will endeavour to do so, but I cannot give a promise.
