HC Deb 15 March 1927 vol 203 c1820
12. Mr. SPOOR

asked the Secretary of State for War the percentage of applicants for recruitment in the Army whose applications were refused on physical and medical grounds in the following years, respectively, 1913, 1914, 1919, and 1926?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

On page 12 of the General Annual Report on the British Army for 1926 the right hon. Member will find the figures for the years 1911–12 and 1912–13 and for the years 1920–21 onwards. I regret that figures for 1914 and 1919 are not available.

Mr. SPOOR

Has there been any increase?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

I Chink the hon. Member would be wise to look at the actual figures.
