§ Major NEWMANasked the Undersecretary of State for War whether it has been brought to his notice that a corporal at present stationed as clerk at the orderly room, Oxford and Bucks Light Infantry, Fort Purbrook, Cosham, is now working with lady clerks; whether, on enlisting voluntarily, he was passed for home service only, and when later he volunteered for active service he was rejected owing to heart trouble following rheumatic fever and was placed in category C2 and put on clerical work; whether, before joining the Army, he acted as manager of his mother's butcher's business in Tottenham, which business may have to be closed owing to the want of a manager; and whether he can see his way to allow him to return to the business provided that the corporal volunteers to do munition or national service work in Tottenham?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONIf my hon. and gallant Friend will give me details of this man's name, etc., I will inquire into the case, but at present I am not able to identify him.
