§ Mr. C. DUNCANasked the Undersecretary of State for War whether his attention has been drawn to the case of W. C. Middleton, of Newton Abbot, who was passed as Class A in January last, entered the Navy, and on 16th May was called up at Devon-port, but on further medical examination by three doctors was rejected as medically unfit; whether he is aware that this man, a bread baker, holding an exemption certificate as being in a reserved occupation, was called before the local j tribunal for his case to be reviewed, that the tribunal agreed to medical re-examination in view of the previous medical rejection, that the military representative appealed against this, with the result that the Devon Appeal Tribunal, sitting at Plymouth on 29th June, upheld the military appeal, and the man has been passed into the Army as Class A without medical examination; and whether he will have inquiries made into this case, with a view to the man being placed in the proper category?
