HC Deb 08 March 1916 vol 80 cc1515-6
10. Mr. ADAMSON

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been drawn to the case of William Cameron, of Methil, Fife, who, although suffering from a weak chest and spinal disease, presented himself under the Derby scheme and was rejected as unfit; whether he is aware that subsequently a soldier attended at Cameron's house and ordered him to report himself for the purpose of obtaining his armlet; that he did so and was attested, although the doctor still adhered to the view that he was unfit; that Cameron has now been informed that he will have to travel to Perth in order to be certified as unfit; and whether he will have inquiries made into the case and release this man from an unnecessary journey which would probably be detrimental to his health?

Mr. TENNANT

I am having inquiry made.
