HC Deb 31 December 1916 vol 88 c1594
116. Major Sir EDWARD COATES

asked whether, when a wounded soldier in hospital receives notice of discharge from the Army owing to incapacity as the result of his wounds, he is to remain under the control of the War Office until he recovers; if so, whether the separation allowance to his dependants is to continue and, if so, for what length of time; and do the War Office contemplate retaining him under their control until he has learned a trade or profession which his condition permits him to learn?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the WAR OFFICE (Mr. Forster)

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answer which was given on this subject by my right hon. Friend on the 23rd November last, to which there is nothing to add at present.
