HC Deb 01 July 1919 vol 117 cc777-8
37. Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

asked the Secretary for War whether the 1st Field Service Garrison Battalion of the Somerset Light Infantry, now stationed at Lahore, contains only men who are medically unfit; whether men are going into hospital with fever every day, and most of the cases are men who have been passed unfit for another summer on the plains; and whether anything can be done to send these men to a hill station?

Mr. CHURCHILL

This question has been referred by cable to India. I will let my hon. Friend know as soon as a reply is received.
