§ 50. Sir E. CORNWALLasked the Secretary of State for War whether he has any information as to the number of men now being retained in the Army who have been reported upon by the medical boards as unsuitable for military service; and whether, with a view to greater efficiency and economy of time and money, he will take steps to relieve commanding officers of the burden of such men more rapidly?
§ Mr. FORSTERNo, Sir, I have no statistics which would enable me to answer the first part of the question. As regards the latter part, I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave yesterday to the hon. Member for Devonport.
§ Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKEIs the hon. Gentleman aware that the answer he gave me yesterday was quite inadequate?
§ Mr. FORSTERI am not aware of that.
