§ MR. W. S. B. M'LAREN (Cheshire, Crewe)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether the system of the regulation of prostitution, and the examination of the women, is still in force in Malta; whether it is the case that soldiers sent to the hospital are compelled, under threat of punishment, to name the woman from whom they have contracted the disease; whether, in the event of a soldier not being able to name the woman, he is taken in charge of a sergeant to the house in which he alleges she resides, in order that he may point her out; and whether he will order a stop to be put to the entire system?
§ * MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANA full Report on the points referred to in the question has been called for from Malta.
