Sir W. Smiles
asked the Secretary of State for War how many nurses of the Q.A.I.M.N.S.R. are now working in India and how many of the O.A.I.M.N.S.; and if he will now release the volunteer nurses on the reserve from the work in India and allow the Regular nursing service to finish the job.
Mr. Bellenger
There are 33 members of the Q.A.I.M.N.S. and 241 members of the Q.A.I.M.N.S.(R.) and T.A.N.S. now serving in India. I regret that the replacement of Q.A.I.M.N.S.(R.) is not practicable, particularly in view of the short time for which they are now likely to be required in India.
