HC Deb 23 April 1917 vol 92 c2054W
Mr. HOGGE

asked what instructions have been issued to recruiting officers with regard to the Military Service (Review of Exceptions) Act; and what instructions have been issued to the medical boards, in pursuance of the pledges given to Parliament that the medical re-examination would be a thorough one, and that attention would be paid to certificates of private medical practitioners?

Mr. MACPHERSON

The necessary instructions have been issued to recruiting officers consequent on the passing of the Military Service (Review of Exceptions) Act. Any man coming up for medical examination should bring a certificate from his private medical practitioner to assist the board in his classification.
