4. Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTTasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether any attested men who have been rejected as unfit for any form of military service since I5th July, 1916, up to January, 882 1917, at the Central London Recruiting Depot have been given certificates of discharge; and, if no such certificates have been issued, why the Army Order on the subject has been disregarded?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Mr. Macpherson)As far as can be ascertained, the answer is in the affirmative. My hon. Friend has brought certain cases to my notice where it was stated that a discharge certificate had been refused. I have informed him as to two of these and am making inquiries about the rest.
Mr. SCOTTIs the hon. Gentleman aware that it has been stated officially that certificates should be granted to those who asked for them and that no such men have received certificates of discharge?
