HC Deb 23 November 1914 vol 68 c781
75. Mr. ANNAN BRYCE

asked the Under-Secretary for War whether treatment in military hospitals is being refused to recruits in the New Army raised for service during the War who have been discharged for temporary incapacity due to accidents during training, while in similar cases such treatment is given to recruits in the Regular Army; and whether he will arrange that in future no distinction shall be made in this respect between the two classes of recruits?

Mr. TENNANT

I am not aware that any distinction is being made between the different categories. The rule is that a discharged soldier who, on account of illness, is unable to proceed to his home will be maintained in hospital. If my hon. Friend knows of any specific cases and will let me know, inquiry will be made.
