§ Mr. CROOKSasked whether an Army Order has been issued which will have the effect of curtailing soldiers' leave on account of small-pox outbreaks in the counties of Lancashire, Northumberland, Durham, Glamorganshire, and Monmouthshire; and whether, seeing that the vast majority of the soldiers have been recently vaccinated, such an Order is considered necessary?
§ Mr. TENNANTOrders were issued with reference to the counties mentioned, but have now been withdrawn, except in the case of three towns where cases of small-pox have recently occurred. Restrictions will not be enforced in regard to men who have been recently successfully vaccinated.
