§ MR. WEIRTo ask the Secretary of State for India, in view of the fact that the hospital for the native troops at Lucknow is unprovided with a ward or room of any kind for serious ophthalmic or other cases of a special character, will he take such steps as may be necessary to ensure the provision of suitable accommodation for such cases.
(Answer.) I have no special information as to the details of the accommodation provided at this hospital, but I am confident that the matter may safely be left to the discretion of the Government of India, who, aided by their professional advisers, are always anxious to make the best arrangements that are practicable for the treatment of soldiers who are on the sick list or in hospital.—(India Office.)
