§ MAJOR ANSTRUTHER-GRAYI beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether he is aware that a large number of men of the 10th Royal Hussars stationed at Rawal-Pindi are suffering from malarial fever; and whether, in view of the fact that many cases of malaria occurred in the regiment which preceded the 10th Hussars in their present barracks, and that nothing hitherto has been done to put these barracks into a proper sanitary state, he will cause inquiry to be made with a view of immediate action being taken.
§ MR. MORLEYI will make inquiry from the Government of India. But I understand that fever is not confined to cantonments, but is prevalent in the country around Rawal-Pindi.
§ MAJOR ANSTRUTHER-GRAYAs men's lives are at stake, will the right hon. Gentleman cable his inquiry?
§ MR. MORLEYI have no objection, but I do not see how it will save time.
§ * SIR JOHN BRUNNER (Cheshire, Northwich)Is there any evidence that the malaria is due to the state of the barracks?
§ MR. MORLEYI should like notice of that Question.
