HC Deb 28 December 1919 vol 123 c1241
24. Mr. WIGNALL

asked the Pensions Minister whether all doctors who served in the Army from the West Dean area of the Gloucestershire pensions area have been returned from the Army; if so, whether the appointment of medical referees of the area have been thrown open so that these men have had an opportunity of applying for the positions, and, if not, when does he propose to cancel the appointments at present held by doctors who have not served; and whether the men who have served will be given an opportunity of applying for the vacant positions?

Sir J. CRAIG

The answer to the first and second part of this question is in the affirmative. With one or two exceptions, the medical referees in the West Dean area of Gloucestershire are now all ex-Service men.
