HC Deb 29 November 1916 vol 88 c305
52. Mr. ROWLANDS

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, under the recent Army Order issued, No. 27 Gen., No. 5783 (D.R.I.), dated 30th October, 1916, the military authorities are giving notices to attested men who were medically rejected prior to the 25th May, 1916, and to whom no notice was given requiring such examination prior to the 1st September, 1916, to again submit themselves for medical examination; are such notices being given to non-attested men; and, if not, whether he is aware that the unattested man is at a distinct advantage in that respect over the attested man?

Mr. FORSTER

I have nothing to add to the replies which have recently been given on this subject.

Mr. ROWLANDS

Do I understand that the attested men will not be put in a worse position than the unattested men by this Order?

Mr. FORSTER

Yes, Sir.
