asked the Secretary of State for War the number of cases of cerebro-spinal fever reported and admitted to hospital, from the various stations throughout Great Britain, for the 12 months ended to the last convenient date?

During the twelve months ended 30th November last, the numbers of soldiers admitted to hospital on account of cerebro-spinal fever were as follow: London 8, Woolwich 4, Caterham 3, Bury (Lanes.) 2, and one each at Aldershot, Canterbury, Halifax, Lichfield and Preston. Three soldiers' children were also admitted, one each at London, Parkhurst and Woolwich.

Are these figures increasing or decreasing among the military population?

I cannot say without notice.
