HC Deb 19 February 1917 vol 90 c966
41. Mr. HOGGE

asked the Comptroller of the Household, as representing the National Health Insurance Commissioners, whether he can state definitely that all soldiers on discharge are receiving Leaflet 29a?

Sir E. CORNWALL

The arrangements for the distribution of Leaflet 29a are such as to secure that every discharged man receives a copy of the leaflet. The Army Council have instructed the regimental authorities to issue a copy of the leaflet to every man on his discharge. Supplies of the leaflet have also been sent to military hospitals in order that men in hospitals may be given copies on their discharge. Local war pensions committees have also been asked to hand a copy, where necessary, to every man with whom they are brought into contact.

Mr. HOGGE

In view of these adequate arrangements, can my hon. Friend say how it is they do not get them?

Sir E. CORNWALL

If my hon. Friend can make any suggestions as to how they can receive them, I shall be glad to consider them.

Mr. HOGGE

Is not that your work?

Sir E. CORNWALL

Yes.
