Aldershot Camp MR. ALPHEUS MORTON I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, whether several officers have been seriously ill, caused by the insanitary condition at Aldershot; whether he is aware that they or their friends have been put to large expense in obtaining private medical attendance; and, will he explain on what grounds the War Office refused to pay these expenses? * MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN Among the cases that have occurred at Aldershot among officers, only those of enteric fever could be caused by insanitary conditions; and of this disease only four cases have occurred since November 1 last. The origin of the disease was, in all the four cases, stated to be doubtful. Any officer whose illness is distinctly traced to the insanitary condition of his official quarters is indemnified for any medical expenses he may incur, when an Army medical officer is not available. MR. ALPHEUS MORTON asked whether it was the fact that in certain cases the War Office had refused to refund the expenses incurred by officers in the circumstances to which he had referred? * MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN said, that the expenses to which officers were put were only made good to them under the conditions he had stated.
