119. Mr. CHANCELLORasked the Under-Secretary of State for War what was the consumption of malt liquors and of wines and spirits by officers and other ranks, respectively, in military, war, territorial general hospitals, and hospitals established by the War Office in Poor Law institutions in the London district during the period 26th January, 1918, to 22nd February, 1918, and during the period 23rd February, 1918, to 29th March, 1918, taken out on the basis of 100 patients per day?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave on the 23rd October to his request for similar information.
Mr. CHANCELLORDoes the right hon. Gentleman know that these facts are actually circulated by medical officers?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONIn the answer I stated that to obtain these facts would throw a great deal of labour upon the staff of the hospitals, particularly now when they are overworked.
Mr. CHANCELLORWill the right hon. Gentleman kindly get these figures? I can assure him they can be obtained?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONMy hon. Friend must have seen them.
