§ 15. Mr. BUCHANANasked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that Thomas Wyper, 124, Rutherglen Road, Glasgow, and late of the Gordon Highlanders, joined the Army several years ago in perfect health; that recently he was discharged unfit for service on medical grounds; that all claim to a pension has been refused; and that the man has since his discharge been under the constant care of the family doctor; if he will take steps to have the case reconsidered; and, if not, can he have the case decided by an appeal tribunal or can he state what right of appeal the man has?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSI am having inquiries made, and will communicate with the hon. Member in due course.
§ Mr. BUCHANANIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that I wrote to him about this case at least two months ago?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSThe hon. Member may not have noticed it, but the name of the particular soldier concerned was changed only this morning. As he put it down originally, the name began with the letter "B," but as it is on the Paper, it begins with the letter "W." These letters are sufficiently far apart in the alphabet to prevent me from tracing the case.
