§ 89. Mr. JOWETTasked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he will state what action he has taken, or intends to take, in regard to the complaint made in a letter addressed to him by the father of William Henry Scott, No. 27054, a soldier in the 3rd Battalion King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, stationed at North Ferriby, Hull, who attested on the 10th December, 1915, and was rejected on account of hammer toes and acute rheumatism, and who afterwards received a copy of Army Form W3,195, whereupon he took his rejection paper and showed it to the Army officer from whom he had received Army Form W3,195, who tore the rejection paper up and said it was no use, and passed him into the Army, with the result that he collapsed during a route march, since when one of his toes has been amputated, one hammer toe still remaining?
§ Mr. TENNANTIn view of my appeal yesterday, I would ask my hon. Friend whether he desires me to call for a report on this individual case.
§ Mr. JOWETTI do, Sir.
