§ Mr. JOHN WARDasked the Secretary of State for War whether the non-commissioned officers and men now under experimental treatment as enteric germ carriers have each given personal sanction to such experiments before inoculation, and whether, in case the treatment permanently impairs their health, they will be granted pensions?
§ Mr. HALDANEThe proposed treatment was fully explained to the patients who, far from offering any objection, are greatly interested in what is being done. Apart from their liability to infect others, they are in exceedingly good health and the possibility of permanent injury to their health from the treatment need not be contemplated. Papers on the subject will very shortly be laid.
