HC Deb 15 December 1919 vol 123 c60W
Mr. SWAN

asked the Secretary of State for War if he can supply particulars of the cases of and deaths from small-pox which occurred in the British Army during the years 1914, 1915, 1916, 1917, and 1918, respectively; and, if this information is not at present available, when it is likely to be available?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I regret that it is impossible for this information to be furnished from the records available in the War Office. The medical statistical records of the War are, of course, very considerable. They are being dealt with as expeditiously as possible, but I am afraid the information desired by the hon. Member will not be available within the next two years.
