§ Sir WATSON RUTHERFORDasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that dissatisfaction exists in Liverpool in reference to the Cambrai affair and the absence of some official explanation of what took place; that the friends and relatives of men in certain battalions of the King's Liverpool Regiment and the South Lancashire Regiment resent the suggestions that the officers and men behaved otherwise than with bravery on that occasion; and that a public inquiry or, in the first place at all events, a frank statement is now needed to allay the feeling which exists; and if he will say what action he proposes to take?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI am afraid that I am not in a position to add anything to what I said in the House last night.
