HC Deb 23 November 1937 vol 329 cc1060-1W
Mr. Parker

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will state the date of enlistment in His Majesty's Forces, and the length of service with the colours, of No. 7881059, Corporal Charles Frank Griffin, Royal Army Pay Corps, and the corps in which he served; whether during his service he was found guilty of any, and if so, what, military or other offences; whether on being transferred to the Reserve he had qualified in any Army trades and, if so, which; whether he had attained any educational certificates and, if so, of what standard; what was his assessment of military conduct; and what testimonial he was given?

The particulars asked for are mostly to be found in Mr. Griffin's Certificate of Service which he can show to anyone he desires. It is well understood that such personal particulars as those asked for in the question are only disclosed with the man's consent.
