HC Deb 11 June 1917 vol 94 cc583-4
75. Mr. HOGGE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether if, out of the five to six hundred cases sent back by the Central Tribunal, Westminster, over 60 per cent, have on re-examination been placed in a lower category and 12 per cent. altogether refused; and, whether, in view of this experience, any estimate has been formed of the waste of time in re-examining men who have, in the first instance, been definitely rejected?

Mr. MACPHERSON

My hon. Friend's question must be based on a misapprehension. No such numbers as he states have been sent back by the Central Tribunal for re-examination.
