§ Mr. WHITEHOUSEasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the agreement with the authorities of the Epsom stand, now being used as a hospital, necessitates the removal of a number of the wounded from that part of the stand which is to be reoccupied by the owners of the stand; the number of wounded who will be so disturbed; and whether they are being removed to other rooms in the stand or sent to other hospitals?
§ Mr. TENNANTNo removal of patients is involved, as before the Spring Meeting those occupying the third floor will have been discharged to sick furlough. Patients are not accommodated on the ground floor or in the basement, the remaining portions of the grand stand affected by the agreement. The hospital, which is now used for transfers from Woolwich, and not for direct admissions from overseas, will be filled again after the Spring Meeting.
