HC Deb 14 March 1940 vol 358 c1394W
Captain Heilgers

asked the Secretary of State for War how many men are stationed at Gibraltar Barracks, Bury-St.-Edmunds; what is the number of medical officers and nursing staff, respectively, employed at the medical reception station; and whether every patient admitted to the reception station has a bed and a mattress?

Mr. Stanley

It would not be desirable to publish the numbers asked for. The normal number of beds at the reception station are equipped with mattresses. A temporary increase of beds has been necessary, for which mattresses are not immediately available.
