§ MR. ALPHEUS C. MORTONI beg leave to ask the Secretary of State for India whether his attention has been called to the condition of the Army Medical Staff in India; whether the Medical Department is terribly undermanned; and whether adequate arrangements are made for a reserve in case of emergencies like the Chitral Expedition?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Mr. HENRY FOWLER, Wolverhampton, E.)The establishment of the Army Medical Staff in India is considered sufficient for the requirements of the Army in peace and war, and there is no reason to suppose that it is "terribly undermanned" as assumed by my hon. Friend.
