§ Mr. CLOUGHasked the Secretary of State for War why the Royal Army Medical Corps men at Singapore were not relieved at the same time as the garrison; whether some of the men there have been continuously absent from home for a period approaching five years; and when these men, who are mostly 1915 men, will be relieved?
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONIt was not possible to relieve the Royal Army Medical Corps detachment at Singapore at the same time as the garrison, but sufficient drafts have since been sent from this country to relieve all those who are eligible for release.
