§ 2. Captain HAROLD BALFOURasked the Financial Secretary to tile War Office the total strength of the army garrison of half a battalion stationed at Bermuda; and whether, in the interests of economy, the establishment of three medical officers of the Royal Army Medical Corps could be reduced by arranging for the cooperation of the civil medical staff of the island?
§ Mr. COOPERThe establishment of the troops at Bermuda is 28 officers and 416 other ranks. The question of co-operation by the civil medical staff has been investigated, but has not been found practicable under the local conditions.
