HC Deb 14 August 1940 vol 364 cc790-1W
Sir H. Williams

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is prepared to modify the regulations under which non-regular officers absent from duty on account of non-attributable disability are reverted to unemployment at the end of three months, so that they are in the position of receiving no income from the Army and cannot undertake civilian employment, and accordingly may be left without any means whatsoever?

Sir E. Grigg

The procedure in these cases is under review, but the practice of reverting an officer to unemployment, when he ceases to be entitled to Army emoluments after three months absence from duty on account of non-attributable disability, has been adopted in order that he may then be free to undertake civilian employment.
