HC Deb 11 June 1917 vol 94 cc584-5
80. Mr. NEEDHAM

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he will arrange that in the case of men called up for re-examination under the Military Service (Review of Exceptions) Act that the examining medical board shall be supplied with the man's medical history of his service in the Army?

Mr. MACPHERSON

Instructions have already been issued reminding recruiting officers of the necessity of obtaining the previous documents of discharged soldiers.

Mr. PRINGLE

Will my hon. Friend issue instructions that the medical history of the examined men shall be considered because the documents are simply put aside?

Mr. MACPHERSON

I will have that inquired into.

Forward to
