Mr. T. WILSONasked the Secretary of State for War whether any inquests 1298W were held in respect of any of the deaths of soldiers after arsenical treatment for syphilis, referred to in the paper read by Brevet-Colonel L. W. Harrison at the meeting of the British Medical Association in April last, whether the deaths mentioned in that paper comprise all the deaths of that description occurring in the British Army during the years of the War; and, if not, will he supply a complete table of figures showing how many such deaths occurred at each of the Colonial and Imperial venereal hospitals in this country and abroad?
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONI am obtaining information regarding the first part of the hon. Member's question. It is not possible to give a complete answer to the remainder of the question, as the records of many of the hospitals concerned have been or are being forwarded to the Medical Research Committee for compiling the Medical History and Medical Statistics of the War.
