§ 32. Sir H. CRAIKasked the Undersecretary of State for War whether there is a prospect of alteration of the regulations which at present permit of a man, discharged from the Army owing to illness caused by the War, being demobilised and left with no means of support and yet liable to be called up again on his restoration to health?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI am afraid I do not quite understand my right hon. Friend's question. Soldiers who are discharged owing to illness caused by the War have their cases considered for pension or gratuity. As regards their liability for further military service, this is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Minister of National Service. I shall be happy to look into any case my right hon. Friend has in mind.
§ Sir H. CRAIKIs the right hon. Gentleman not aware of a case of a soldier who has been discharged owing to illness, and demobilised, and left without any means of support whatever?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI recollect now the case to which my hon. Friend refers, and will look into it further.
