§ MR. D. GRANTasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether his attention has been drawn to the facts that France has voted a sum of money and Germany has decided to send a scientific commission to Egypt to study and report upon the special conditions of the outbreak of cholera in that Country; and, whether the Report from our own medical officers which is to be laid upon the Table of the House is of the ordinary character, or will it have some elements of scientific investigation and precision so as to be of value in our knowledge of the disease?
§ LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICEYes, Sir; the facts are as stated by my hon. Friend. Dr. Hunter has already full instructions to report, for the information of the Sanitary Department of the Local Government Board, on the character and origin of the disease; and, considering the importance of the subject, I have forwarded a copy of the hon. Member's Question to him.
