HC Deb 22 December 1915 vol 77 c471
59. Mr. HORNER

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he is aware that delay occurs in discharging men from the Army who are pronounced by the medical officers as unfit for service, and that in consequence of this delay unnecessary outlay is incurred in their pay, clothing, food, and accommodation; and will he have inquiries made into the matter and instructions issued to expedite such discharges?

Mr. FORSTER

I would refer my hon. Friend to the written answer which I gave on Friday last on this subject to the hon. Member for Wirral, a copy of which I will send him.

Mr. HORNER

May I give the right hon. Gentleman information? I have received from a commanding officer a letter in which he gives information regarding twenty-seven of them—

Mr. SPEAKER

It is not for the hon. Member to give information. It is for the Government to give information.
