Mr. CHAMBERLAINThe following Statement contains the information asked for by the hon. Member:
whether the matter has been under the consideration of the permanent Consultative Committee on Official Statistics.
Mr. SAMUELThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. With regard to the remainder of the question, publications dealing with the health of the Army and of the Air Force in 1926 were published in February and January, 1928, respectively, at a price of 3s. 6d. and 2s. 6d. The Report on the Health 51W of the Navy has not been specifically considered by the Committee on Official Statistics, and I am making further inquiry into the question of its publication.
