§ MR. WHITLEY THOMSON (Yorkshire, W.R., Skipton)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the fact that the epidemic of scarlet fever at the Duke of York's School still continues, and that the sanitary authority of the borough of Chelsea, although it has been called upon to remove and disinfect bedding and clothes, has been refused information on the extent of the epidemic and not allowed to enter the school, he will instruct the officials of the school to give entrance to the representatives of the sanitary authority of the borough.
§ (Answered by Mr. Secretary Brodrick.) Nothing is known of any such refusal to give information to the sanitary authorities of the borough. On the contrary the medical officer of the school has been working in co-operation with the borough medical officer of health. It has been decided to remove all the boys who are free from infection and encamp them for a time.
