§ Mr. MILLSasked the Secretary of State for War what is the reason for the delay-in publishing the statistics of small-pox eases and deaths recorded in the British Army during the years of the War, Seeing that three and a half years have elapsed since the signing of the Armistice and a special Department has been at work on the Army disease statistics during that time"
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSThe delay is due to the volume of work involved. The statistics have to be compiled from the hospital cards on which the individual cases were recorded, and the number of such cards to be dealt with is about 30 millions.
