HC Deb 18 December 1935 vol 307 c1737
41. Lord APSLEY

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in respect of the recent epidemic of enteric fever among the British police stationed at Jerusalem, any arrangements have been made for the convalescence of members of this force; and, if not, whether he would be willing to consider the provision of such?
