HC Deb 17 March 1868 vol 190 c1813
MAJOR DICKSON

said, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, If it is his intention to extend the Contagious Diseases Act of 1866 to Dover?

SIR JOHN PAKINGTON

said, it was not the intention of Her Majesty's Government to apply the provisions of this Act to Dover, or any other town, until proper hospital accommodation was provided. It might be satisfactory to his hon. and gallant Friend to know that a hospital would be opened at Dover about May next.
