§ Mr. Grovesasked the Secretary of State for War whether the medical examination of doctors for admission to the Royal Army Medical Corps requires approximately the same standard of physical fitness irrespective of the age of the examinee; and whether he will consider instituting a series of grades and utilising medical men according to both health and experience for service either at home or overseas?
§ Mr. EdenThe standard physical qualification for a commission in the Royal Army Medical Corps is that the candidate should be fit for general service and under the age of 55. Candidates of lower physical fitness have been accepted to meet particular requirements.
