§ Mr. Stokesasked the Secretary of State for War how many cases of enteric fever and deaths from that disease, typhoid and paratyphoid, were recorded in 1938 and 1939 in the British Army at home stations and in India, respectively?
§ Mr. EdenThe number of cases and deaths from the enteric fever group of diseases recorded in 1938 at home stations and in India, and in 1939 at home stations, are as follow:
France; how many letters of complaint the War Office has received from these officers regarding the amount of compensation received; and whether he will review all cases of complaint with a view to increasing the amount of compensation?
§ Mr. EdenThe number of claims was about 18,000. I am unable to say how many letters of complaint have been received, but, whether or not complaint was made, as I informed my Noble Friend the Member for Peterborough (Lord Burghley) and my hon. and learned Friend the Member for Edinburgh, North (Mr. Erskine Hill) on 20th August, all cases are being reviewed on the revised basis of assessment which has been adopted.
