§ Commander N. CRAIGasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether a Report by Colonel Pyke and Colonel Balfour in regard to the Army Medical Service in Africa has been received; when such Report was received; whether it disclosed a very serious state of affairs in regard to Army medical administration; whether any, and what, action has been taken upon it; and whether the Report can be laid upon the Table and an opportunity be afforded for discussion upon its contents?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONThe answer to the first and third parts of the question is in the affirmative. Immediate consideration was given to the Report which was received in May, and effective action has been taken. The Report is of a personal and highly confidential nature, and the answer to the last part of the question is therefore in the negative.
