HC Deb 23 July 1900 vol 86 c858
MR. MADDISON (Sheffield, Brightside)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War if he will state the number of men now in hospital in South Africa from causes other than wounds.

* MR. WYNDHAM

It has already been explained to the House that it is not practicable to give the information required. The numbers vary from day to day and we receive no telegraphic information about them. I can, however, give the admissions at any place, at any date, if that will satisfy the hon. Member.
