§ MR. ROSE (Cambridgeshire, Newmarket)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India if he can state the number of officers and men of the 10th Hussars admitted to hospital each month since they relieved the 9th Lancers in September 1906, at Rawul Pindi; whether the epidemic of fever was in any way occasioned through insanitary accommodation, and what steps he proposes to take to prevent a recurrence of the epidemic; and whether the Indian Government or the War Office are responsible for sanitation of troops stationed in India.
§ * MR. HOBHOUSEThe reply has not yet been received. Perhaps my hon. friend will repeat the Question in two or three days.
§ MR. LEA (St. Pancras, E.)Was it not promised that the information should be cabled for?
§ * MR. HOBHOUSEI have cabled for it, but it necessarily takes some time to get a reply, even by cable.
