Mr. CHANCELLORasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether an officer or man who is entitled to or in 975 receipt of a pension or gratuity as a result of injury or disease which the Army doctor has failed to cure, arid who, after obtaining permission in accordance with Army Council Instruction No. 1,802 of 1917, at his own cost consults an unregistered practitioner, will suffer reduction or loss of such pension or gratuity in case the unqualified practitioner succeeds no better than the Army doctor?
