HC Deb 27 March 1917 vol 92 c215W
Sir W. COLLINS

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, having regard to the more mobile character of the operations on the Western Front and with a view to the earliest possible treatment of certain classes of wounds, especially those of the abdomen, the Army Medical Department is considering the desirability of utilising motor-operating theatres, similar to those supplied by the Wounded Allies' Relief Committee to the Belgian and Italian Armies?

Mr. MACPHERSON

The more mobile character of the operations on the Western Front have been duly anticipated and the full equipment for an operating theatre, together with the temporary theatre itself, can be sent to the front, with the personnel of a casualty clearing station, wherever it is required in any part of the line.
