§ Colonel LOCKWOODasked the Secretary for War whether the Army Council will reconsider their reply to Lieutenant A. B. James, late of the Kaffrarian Rifles, Cape Colony, as embodied in their letter, O 79/J/423 (F.2), of the 8th September, 1910, in view of the sums spent in repatriating and compensating rebels after the late Boer War?
§ Mr. HALDANEThe reply is in the negative. It was necessary for the Army Council to fix a date after which no claims could be considered, and I regret that I am not able to make an exception to the rule.
