HC Deb 17 September 1909 vol 10 cc2545-6W
Mr. TYSON WILSON

asked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that as a recent medical examination of a regiment of Hussars that is leaving this

country for India, 12 men were found to have defective teeth; that they were given the alternative of paying the dentist out of their own pocket for having their teeth attended to or taking their discharge; that 11 of them took their discharge; and whether this action which resulted in the loss of 11 trained and experienced soldiers has his sanction?

Mr. HALDANE

I am making inquiry.
