§ Mr. POLLOCKasked the Secretary of State for War what is the number of men, approximately, at Ballyvonare camp, county Cork; whether a large number of them are men who have been wounded on active service; and whether the condition of this camp is satisfactory and suitable for men to recuperate in?

§ Mr. FORSTERThere were nearly 4,000 men under treatment at the Command Depot, Ballyvonare, on 11th December. Thes9 men have been discharged from hospital, but they are not yet able to rejoin their units owing to stiff joints. I have no reason to suppose that the depot is otherwise than satisfactory and suitable, and the results obtained from the recuperative treatment given there are decidedly good.
