HL Deb 16 February 1900 vol 79 c196
THE EARL OF KIMBERLEY

My Lords, seeing the noble Marquess the Secretary of State for War in his place, I should like to ask him whether the Government have received any news as to whether the Boers are still at Magersfontein; and also whether they have an)' news as to the position of our forces at Rensburgh.

* THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (The Marquess of LANSDOWNE)

My Lords, we have received no news, except the telegram which was published this morning announcing General French's arrival at Kimberley.
