§ Colonel FABERasked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he will consider the advisability of having the hospitals at the fronts some distance away from fighting units, so that no mistake can possibly arise in enemy bombing operations; whether to assist this object light railways could be laid down by which to remove patients on to the main lines; and whether he will insist on the Red Cross being plainly painted on our marquees?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONThe measures suggested by my hon. and gallant Friend have already been put in hand, so far as labour is available. Hospital establishments are clearly marked.
