§ 5. Mr. AYLESasked the Minister of Pensions whether he will give instruction that, when medical boards are held, all answers to questions which are entered upon the proceedings shall be read over to the officer or man concerned, and their correctness admitted before the proceedings are signed?
Mr. ROBERTSI understand that it is the general practice for medical boards to read over the note of the officer's or man's own statement of his condition, and to ask him if he wishes to add anything to it. I am arranging for the issue of an instruction to ensure that this procedure shall obtain in all cases.
