§ MR. ALPHEUS MORTON (Peterborough)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the sickness and deaths caused by the sewage farm at the North Camp, Aldershot; and whether anything has yet been done to remedy the evils complained of?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANsaid: It is not known that any case of death can be attributed to the sewage farm at Aldershot; but it is admitted that the farm is not in a satisfactory state. Negotiations with the local authorities are proceeding with a view to a new sewage farm being established at a greater distance from the camp; and, meanwhile, steps are being taken for the improvement of the present farm.
§ MR. ALPHEUS MORTONasked whether it was the fact that in the case of some officers who were taken ill their friends had to defray the expenses of employing private doctors, and that the War Department had to refuse to refund the money?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANThat seems to be a separate question altogether from the question on the Paper, which has reference to the sewage farm.
