HC Deb 28 July 1942 vol 382 c301
12. Mr. Hewlett

asked the Secretary of State for War what would be the estimated cost of X-raying recruits on enlistment so as to avoid subsequent controversy over borderline cases?

Sir J. Grigg

In view of the many uncertain factors, I regret that I can give no reliable estimate of the cost. But my hon. Friend will appreciate that the difficulty of introducing any such scheme would be primarily in the shortage of the necessary apparatus and personnel.
