§ 65. Mr. FERENSasked the Undersecretary of State for War if he is aware that a considerable number of soldiers suffering from Bilharzia contracted in Palestine are being detained in Egypt; is he aware that the chance of their throwing off this disease is not nearly so probable in Egypt as it would be at home; and will he take steps to have these men brought to England?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI am in communication with the military authorities in Egypt regarding this question, and will write to my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
