§ BARON HENRY DE WORMSasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether it is the case that the pay of a female Army nurse is stopped when she is in hospital owing to her having caught an infectious disease from a soldier whom she has nursed, while an orderly of the Army Hospital Corps treated in hospital, under precisely the same circumstances, loses his extra pay; and, if so, whether steps cannot be taken to remedy this anomaly?
THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTONThe pay of a female nurse is not stopped under the circumstances stated in the Question. I have already undertaken to inquire into the case of the Army Hospital Corps.
