HC Deb 20 February 1940 vol 357 c1135
40. Mr. Graham White

asked the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been drawn to the numerous and long delays experienced by men sent on leave from their units pending discharge on medical grounds, and also to the delays experienced by them in the receipt of pay and ration allowances; and whether he will take whatever steps are necessary to bring about a more effective liaison between the men's units and the Army medical authorities?

Mr. Stanley

I am aware that delays have occurred, but measures have been taken to expedite the disposal of these cases, and delays should now be reduced to a minimum.
