§ 38. Mr. WINGasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Local Government Board whether the Statutory Committee on Disablement has given consideration to the necessity of providing in civilian life for the welfare of soldiers who have been discharged in numbers from the Army and who, though not certifiable, have not yet fully recovered from the effects of severe nerve strain due to the War; and whether, seeing that it is illegal to place such men under detention without formal certification, he will undertake that the convalescent homes contemplated by the Disablement Committee shall be free from any form of detention as well as from military control?
§ Mr. HAYES FISHERI would refer the hon. Member to the answers given to the hon. Member for the Harbour Division of Dublin on the 10th August and to the hon. Member for Galway on the 17th August. The Statutory Committee have no powers of detention.
