§ Mr. G. Griffithsasked the Secretary of State for War whether some revision in the Army's diet will be made to include a greater amount of fresh vegetables and fruit so as to reduce the number of boils, etc., from which men have been suffering?
§ Sir E. GriggThe Army ration has been carefully investigated by the expert research workers of the Medical Research Council and contains an ample supply of vitamins. The ration of fresh vegetables (potatoes 12 ounces, other vegetables 8 ounces) is ample. The incidence of the diseases of areolar tissue among the troops for the first four months of this year was one-third of the normal peace-time rate.
