Mr. M. BARLOWasked the Undersecretary of State for War whether he has now had inquiry made into the administration of the Hulme Town Hall recruiting station; whether he has been able to make any alteration in that administration; and whether he will give directions that the number of unfit men reported passed for Class A without proper examination at Hulme Town Hall within the last few weeks shall have a proper examination?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONYes, Sir, the work of the Recruiting Medical Boards at the Hulme Town Hall has been inspected on several occasions recently, and has been found quite satisfactory. If my hon. Friend would care to attend the Board for a few consecutive sittings I shall be happy to make arrangements, and I think that he will find that these things are very different to what he has been led to believe.
