§ Mr. HUDSONasked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he is aware that the Castle Cary military authorities ordered a railway signalman named I. Williams, employed by the Somerset and Dorset Railway Company, to be medically examined at Taunton on 8th January, 1917, and that as a result he lost a day's wages and war bonus, which the railway company decline to pay, and that he received no payment whatever from the military authorities; and will he say who should meet the loss the man has been put to?
§ Mr. FORSTERI am not aware of the circumstances of this case, but if the man was ordered as stated he was entitled to one day's Army pay and allowances, and he should apply to the recruiting officer.
