§ 84. Mr. GINNELLasked the Under-Secretary of State for War under what rule Private Daniel Collins, No. 26,816, 4th battalion Royal Dublin Fusiliers, now in Mullingar, was deprived in the recruiting office, Manchester, of his blue medical form certifying him unfit for military service, forced to join the Army, is now denied permission to report his case to a Member of this House, and that, being dressed in khaki, no civilian doctor can venture to examine him for fitness; and whether, in these circumstances, he will recover the certificate of unfitness taken from Collins at Manchester, and allow him the liberty to which it entitles him?
§ Mr. TENNANTI would refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to the hon. Member for South-East Cork on the 23rd May. As I then stated, this man when he went before the medical board was found to be of exceptionally good physique, and he was posted to the regiment in which he expressed a desire to serve, namely, the Dublin Fusiliers.
