HC Deb 08 July 1918 vol 108 cc50-1W
Colonel ASHLEY

asked the Undersecretary of State for War what industrial training, if any, is given to men in military hospitals or convalescent who are obviously unfit for further military service?

Mr. MACPHERSON

Soldiers in military hospitals are given such industrial training as is considered will tend to improve the particular disabilities from which they are suffering,e.g., in agriculture for neurasthenic cases, in curative workshops for limb injuries, etc. The question of bedside occupational work is at present under consideration.
