HC Deb 26 July 1916 vol 84 c1675
31. Sir E. CORNWALL

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will arrange for official bulletins to be issued when any fighting takes place in the theatre of war east of the Suez Canal?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I am informed that what my hon. Friend asks for has always been done, and it will continue to be done as far as the exigencies of the military situation permit.

Sir E. CORNWALL

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the War Office has not issued any official bulletin in regard to Egypt for some time, and that, although recently there has been a report of very severe fighting at Katia, no information has been given by the War Office to the country?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I was not aware of that. I will look into the matter.
