HC Deb 02 July 1923 vol 166 c57W
Mr. R. YOUNG

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he will grant a return showing the total strength of the Army, the number of vaccinations or revaccinations performed on soldiers, and the number of vaccinations or revaccinations performed per 1,000 strength, for each year from 1914 to 1922; and the number of vaccinations and revaccinations performed on soldiers outside the British Isles?

Lieut.-Colonel GUINNESS

I regret that figures cannot be given for 1914–1920, and those for 1922 are not yet available. The figures for 1921 are:

Total strength of the Army 239,525
Number of vaccinations or revaccinations performed on soldiers 59,906
Number of vaccinations or revaccinations performed per 1,000 strength 250.10
Number of revaccinations and revaccinations performed on soldiers outside the British Isles 19,369
