HC Deb 07 March 1918 vol 103 c2128
84. Mr. TOOTILL

asked the Under Secretary of State for War whether it is proposed to transfer to other units competent sanitary inspectors now serving in sanitary sections in France and to fill their places with untrained men of lower categories; whether he is aware that these santitary inspectors volunteered for this special work for which they are particularly fitted; and whether, in view of the importance of the work, any decision to transfer these men will be reconsidered?

Mr. MACPHERSON

No, Sir; there is no intention of transferring to other units trained sanitary inspectors now serving in sanitary sections in France, unless they are of category A and can be replaced by equally well and highly trained men of lower category.
