§ 57. Mr. KINGasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he will give some information or figures to show the prevalence of sickness in the Armies at home and on active service during the War, and particularly state whether the health of the Forces compares favourably with health conditions in previous wars?
§ Mr. TENNANTI will give information, not figures. As far as the important preventible diseases are concerned the health of the Expeditionary Forces compares not only favourably with the health conditions of any previous campaign but nothing approaching it has ever been known in the past.
