§ 11. Mr. Ness Edwardsasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that South Wales miners on full compensation are being called up for medical examination by the recruiting section of his Ministry; and whether he will take the necessary action to prevent this procedure?
§ Mr. BevinI am not clear what kind of cases my hon. Friend has in mind, and perhaps he will let me have particulars.
§ Mr. EdwardsIs the Minister aware that this is rather an urgent matter? The two colliers who were on full compensation for total disablement were called to a medical board yesterday for examination, for call-up for the Army.
§ Mr. BevinWe might not have known they were on compensation. They may have been on the register, duly registered. If the hon. Member will let me have the names and there has been any difficulty about it, I will look into it.
