HC Deb 23 August 1916 vol 85 cc2652-3
9. Mr. EDMUND HARVEY

asked the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been directed to complaints made as to the conduct of the Mill Hill Army Medical Board in passing unfit men for military service; and whether any inspection of the work of this board by a competent medical authority has taken place or will be arranged?

Mr. FORSTER

The only complaint which has reached me, as far as I can remember, was the complaint made by the hon. Member for Haggerston during the Debate yesterday, and I am inquiring into that. In the opinion of the Command, this board is doing its work well. It has been inspected lately, and this is the opinion of the inspector.

10. Mr. HARVEY

asked the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been directed to renewed com plaints made by the Weybridge Tribunal as to the passing of unfit men for military service by the Guildford Army Medical Board; and whether, in view of the fact that the War Office has already had to call the attention of this board to a com plaint of this nature, he proposes to take any further action to secure that only fit men are passed for military service?

Mr. FORSTER

I have received no complaints and am not aware that the attention of this Board has been called to any shortcomings.

Forward to
