24. Mr. FREEMAN

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether an out break of cerebro-spinal meningitis occurred recently on His Majesty's Ship "Wallace"; whether he will state the number of cases that occurred; the number of deaths; the vaccinal condition of each; and when vaccination has last been enforced?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the ADMIRALTY (Mr. Ammon)

I have no information of an outbreak of cerebro-spinal meningitis in His Majesty's Ship "Wallace." One case was reported on the 27th January, last, who was remaining under treatment at the Military Hospital, Gibraltar, on the 29th January. This man was re-vaccinated on the 1st September, 1926.
