§ Lieutenant-Colonel Bolesasked the Secretary of State for War what steps are being taken to evacuate home the patients of No. 92 British General Hospital in Italy, some of whom have been abroad nearly four years; and how many are now awaiting transport in that hospital.
§ Mr. LawsonI have no figures relating to that particular hospital, but, in all, 602 patients are awaiting evacuation from Italy. There has been some delay due to shipping difficulties but arrangements have been made to clear all the patients during November.
