HC Deb 29 March 1927 vol 204 c1054
82. Major Sir HERBERT CAYZER

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether, in view of the fact that on the last cruise of H.M.S. "Effingham" two deaths occurred, and there was also an epidemic of influenza, ho will make arrangements for the naval ratings of this ship to be sent to the naval camp at Ceylon to recuperate their health, in accordance with customary practice prior to such voyages, before she sets out on her projected cruise to East Africa, for which she is scheduled to sail from Colombo on 26th April?

Lieut.-Colonel HEADLAM

I think my hon. and gallant Friend will agree that this is a matter which can safely be left to the naval authorities on the spot.
