§ 11. Mr. GILBERTasked the Under-Secretary of State for War why the medical officer who is in charge of the military hospital supplied by the Southwark Board of Guardians has had his remuneration reduced from £663 7s. 6d. per annum, paid since 1915, to the amount of £584 for the present year; whether the duties of the officer are exactly the same as formerly and, if so, why the War Office should draw any distinction between military hospitals supplied by Poor Law authorities and those supplied to the War Office; and whether the medical officer's responsibilities and duties are the same in both cases?
§ Mr. FORSTERI am having inquiry made.
