§ Sir T. BRAMSDONasked the Parliamenary Secretary to the Admiralty if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the beef screen in the Royal Naval Barracks. Portsmouth, is situated adjacent to the building where infectious cases are dealt with, and is also in close proximity to a venereal disease cabin and a public lavatory; and if he will take steps to have the place where the ship's company's fresh meat is handled removed to a more hygienic position?
§ Mr. HODGESThe answer to both parts of the hon. Member's question is in the negative. The beef screen is at some considerable distance from each of the places mentioned, and its position is considered by the responsible authorities to be hygienic.
