HC Deb 30 March 1936 vol 310 c1617
34. Mr. POTTS

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he has considered the case of Harry Needham, No. 4613692, Depot, the Duke of Wellington's Regiment, Halifax, Yorks; and whether, in view of the fact that the father is unable to work, that Needham supported the father and mother, and that his job is being kept open for him, he will immediately grant a release to this man on compassionate grounds?

The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Mr. Duff Cooper)

I am making inquiries into this case and will communicate with the hon. Member as soon as they are complete.
