§ Sir G. STRICKLANDasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what provision has been made in Palestine for assistance to British women connected with the public service in maternity cases; and has any provision been made independent of doctors in constant contact with ordinary cases of infection?
§ Mr. AMERYI am in communication with the High Commissioner regarding a proposal that a medical officer should be appointed by the Palestine Government whose principal duty will be to attend upon officers of the Government and their families. The hon. Member will appreciate that, considering the small number of British officers and their families in Palestine, it is impossible to appoint an officer whose sole duty would he to deal with cases of the nature referred to.
