§ MR. EUGENE WASON (Clackmannan and Kinross)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he will state how many of the officers and men who died in South Africa from enteric fever had been inoculated against that disease; and what is the purport of the reports of the Medical Army Corps as to the success, or otherwise, of the process.
§ MR. ARNOLD-FORSTERThe examination of the medical records of the South African war has involved enormous labour, and is not sufficiently advanced to enable me to give the statistics asked for. The question of anti-enteric inoculation has been referred to a special Committee. It is one of great interest and will on no account be neglected. If at a later stage I can give the hon. Member the information he asks for I will do so.
