HC Deb 13 November 1918 vol 110 c2689W
Viscount WOLMER

asked the Prime Minister whether he will cause inquiry to be made into the medical treatment of officers and men of the Army in France and England suffering from influenza and pneumonia, with a view to satisfying the nation that adequate arrangements have been made; and whether he will cause a statistical table to be drawn up showing the percentage of mortality occurring during the recent epidemic in the British Army on the one hand and among the civilian population on the other from influenza and pneumonia during the last three months?

Mr. MACPHERSON

My right hon. Friend has asked me to answer this question. In reply to oral questions to-day, I gave my Noble Friend all the figures relating to the Army which are available. I do not think that any useful purpose would be served by instituting a special inquiry as suggested at the present time.
