§ Mr. Grovesasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will supply figures showing the vaccinal conditions of recruits found fit for service since 1911 for each year for which the figures are available classified as follows: proportion per 1,000 showing marks of vaccination, marks of small-pox, and neither of these marks?
Mr. CooperStatistics are not available for the years prior to 1925. The following table gives the information in respect of the years since 1925.
§ Sir V. WarrenderThe extra cost over and above that of a normal recruit was 3s. 2½d. a week for each man. This does not take into account the overhead expenses which, although not appreciable in 611W respect of the small numbers involved, would be considerable if the experiment were applied on a large scale.
