§ 35. Mr. WILESasked the Secretary of State for War if his attention has been called to the condition of the convalescent camp at Ballyvarra, county Cork; is he aware that during the late stormy weather it has been constantly flooded, and that the patients have had their beds crowded together owing to the leaky roofs of many of the huts; and will he state the number of deaths in the camp during the last two months, and if any of the deaths are reported to have been caused by damp and cold?
§ Mr. FORSTERI assume my hon Friend refers to the camp at Ballyvonare. During the recent abnormal rains I understand that the huts at the Command Depot did leak. Steps were taken at once to have repairs carried out. One death has occurred during the last two months, but it was not attributable to damp or cold.
