HC Deb 04 June 1924 vol 174 c1277W
Mr. PIELOU

asked the Minister of Health the number of ex-service men who have died during the last nine years from tuberculosis as a result of their war service?

Mr. ROBERTS

I have been asked to reply. The number of ex-service men who have received an award from the Ministry of Pensions in respect of tuberculosis, and who have died from that disease is, I regret to say, 15,770.
