HC Deb 31 October 1916 vol 86 cc1529-30
93. Colonel Lord HENRY CAVENDISH-BENTINCK

asked the Secretary of State for War if he is in a position to announce whether the duty of restoring the disabled soldier to complete recovery, so far as medical and surgical science can do so, will be undertaken by the War Office?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

The War Office is charged with establishing an organisation for the training and treatment of the discharged soldier, but this will be done by means of a civil organisation. The matter is receiving the most careful consideration.

Mr. HOGGE

Will this civil organisation be under the New Pensions Board or separate?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

That is not quite definitely settled.
