§ 93. Mr. C. WHITEasked the Secretary of State for War if he will at once issue instructions for the cancelling or revising of Army Council Instruction 287, of 1919, which defines the grounds upon which soldiers may be granted release on compassionate grounds; and whether he will consider the advisability of setting up tribunals consisting of business men and women, with one representative from the War Office, to consider such cases, by which it may be possible that appeals may be judged impartially and from a human instead of a purely military and arbitrary standpoint?
§ Mr CHURCHILLI regret that my hon. Friend's proposal cannot be entertained.
