HC Deb 28 February 1917 vol 90 c2045W
Mr. CROOKS

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if any complaints have been received with respect to the conditions prevailing in Rugeley camp; whether his attention has been drawn to the existence of much sickness and many deaths among the soldiers; and whether he will have inquiries made with a view to an improvement?

Mr. MACPHERSON

It appears that there has been a considerable amount of sickness at Rugeley, but the matter is receiving the special attention of the military authorities, and steps are being taken to improve matters.
