HC Deb 29 April 1902 vol 107 cc155-6
MR. JOSEPH A. PEASE (Essex, Saffron Walden)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he can give any statistics as to how many of the troops landed in South Africa during the War have been inoculated with so-called anti-typhoid serum; how many have had enteric fever; how many of those inoculated died of enteric fever; whether any of those inoculated have been invalided home as a direct result of such inoculation; and whether any of the troops recently sent to South Africa have been inoculated.

MR. BRODRICK

Statistics on this subject are being prepared, and the calculation will take a considerable time. I am not in a position to give any reply to the Question without these figures. The reply to the last Question is in the affirmative.
