HC Deb 28 March 1911 vol 23 cc1295-6W
Mr. ASTOR

asked the President of the Local Government Board what accommodation is specially reserved for cases of small-pox in small-pox hospitals or other buildings; and what additional accommodation would be available in case of a serious epidemic?

Mr. BURNS

Some 2,000 beds are available at short notice for small-pox cases in London, and this number could be largely increased within no long time if necessity arose. Similar information for the rest of the country is not available in any complete form.
