HC Deb 20 July 1916 vol 84 c1220W
Sir E. CORNWALL

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he proposes to keep the House of Commons authoritatively informed as to the progress of the War in all its phases; and whether, with this object in view, he will at regular intervals make a full statement to the House and on occasion, when it is considered necessary, in Secret Session?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I hope to be able from time to time to make statements in the House as to the course of the campaign, but I should like to be allowed to consider further how and when this can best be done.
