HC Deb 01 April 1919 vol 114 c1045
18. Mr. HAYDAY

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will consider the advisability of soldiers with the Egyptian Expeditionary Force who have been down with dysentery and malaria being returned home before the warm weather comes, and whether he will instruct commanding officers out thereto take into consideration for early demobilisation men who have suffered in this way and are ill suited to the prevailing climatic conditions?

Captain GUEST

Men who have suffered in health and who are thereby rendered unfit for the prevailing climatic conditions will be dealt with by the medical authorities concerned and transferred to England in all cases where it is considered necessary.
