HC Deb 26 March 1908 vol 186 c1558
COLONEL LOCK WOOD (Essex, Epping)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War what stops (if any) are or will be taken to carry out the recommendations of the special War Office Committee with regard to soldiers suffering from tuberculosis and making provision for their reception into suitable sanatoria, and thus prevent the spread amongst the civilian population in their own homes of a disease which is killing off some 40,000 of our population annually.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. HALDANE,) Haddington

Will the hon. and gallant Member kindly refer to my replies to previous Questions on this subject put by the hon. Member for Sunderland on the 18th February, and the hon. Member for the Abercrom-by division of Liverpool on the 2nd instant, to which at present I have nothing to add.
