§ DR. TANNERI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War if any explanation can be given of the higher ratios being again given against the Home district as regards invaliding, average sick, and constantly sick; and if any medical evidence can affirm and give a reason for the average duration of cases being the highest figures, as in the previous year, both in Woolwich and in the Home district.
§ *MR. WYNDHAMNo definite reason can be assigned for this.
§ DR. TANNERWill the hon. Gentleman inquire into the matter? This is the third year in succession I have put the question.
§ *MR. WYNDHAMI do not think there is any other reason except that the Home and Woolwich districts are the more thickly populated.
