HC Deb 15 May 1900 vol 83 c232
* MR. BROWN (Shropshire, Wellington)

I beg to ask the Junior Lord of the Admiralty whether the Army Medical Department reports show that inoculation for enteric fever has been found useful in our Army in South Africa; and, if so, whether the Government will supply anti-typhoid vaccine to Her Majesty's ships so that sailors and others who have to land in unhealthy places may previously be inoculated on board ship.

THE CIVIL LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN,) Worcestershire, E.

This matter is receiving careful attention, but definite information as to the results of inoculation for enteric fever is not yet available. When this information is received, the point raised by my hon. friend shall be considered.
