§ DR. FARQUHARSON (Aberdeenshire, W.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he can state how many cases of sunstroke in connection with the Alder-shot review have been treated in hospital, what was the average duration of their stay, and whether any of the cases were reported as severe or dangerous; and whether the principal medical officer at Aldershot was consulted as to the propriety or otherwise of holding the field day on 11th June.
§ *MR. WYNDHAMThe total number of cases was sixty-two; the duration of stay in hospital of those discharged was ten days; fourteen are still in hospital. Twenty-nine of the eases were considered severe. The General Officer commanding did not consult, the principal medical officer, or was there ground for doing so, since exceptional heat was not anticipated.
