HC Deb 07 November 1916 vol 87 cc31-2
50. Colonel YATE

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the time has now-arrived when the dispatches relating to the operations in East Africa from the commencement of hostilities in 1914 can be published?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I have nothing to add to the answer which the late Under-Secretary gave the hon. Member on 27th June.

Colonel YATE

Are these dispatches to-be published or not?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

That is the very question that was put to the late Under-Secretary, and he answered two or three supplementary questions which gave full information upon the whole subject.

Colonel YATE

Has the right hon. Gentleman found any information at all in the replies? There was no information. I asked for information?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I beg pardon. I will give my hon. and gallant Friend a copy. I have just repeated it. It is full of information.

Colonel YATE

Will the right hon. Gentleman give us some more?
