§ 52. Mr. MOLTENOasked the Prime Minister whether he can state the total number of British casualties, stating separately casualties in the field and sickness casualties, to the Expeditionary Force now on the Continent, up to the present date, or as near as possible thereto?
§ Mr. TENNANTI gave the figure for killed, wounded and missing in answer to a question put by the hon. Member for East Edinburgh on the 15th instant. Without further analysis of the figures than has so far been practicable, it would not be possible to make an accurate statement of the sickness casualties, and in any case it is doubtful whether in present circumstances it is desirable to furnish the enemy with full information on this point.
