ARMY MEDICAL DEPARTMENT (DISCUSSION).

HC Deb 22 February 1917 vol 90 c1477W

Sir J, D. REES

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he can state when the Vote for the Army Medical Service will be taken?

Sir G. GREENWOOD

asked whether the Army Estimates will be introduced in such a form that a direct vote may be taken on the question of manipulative treatment without complicating that issue with the Army Estimates as a whole?

Mr. GOLDSTONE

asked on what date it is proposed to discuss the Army Estimates; and whether an early opportunity will be given for the discussion of the Vote for the Army Medical Department?

Mr. BUXTON

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the widespread interest taken in the subject of manipulative treatment, he will give an early date for the discussion of the Army Medical Vote?

Mr. MACPHERSON

I am afraid that the approved form of the Army Estimates cannot be altered as suggested by my hon. Friend the Member for Peterborough. My hon. Friends who take an interest in the subject of manipulative treatment may rest assured that facilities for discussion will be afforded at an early date on the introduction of the Army Estimates.
