§ Mr. SMALLWOODasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether a missing soldier has been found by his sister in an East End hospital, having been there for a considerable period unidentified and having lost both arms and legs and the power of speech?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI find that there is no truth whatever in the report which was circulated in the Press. As a result1246W of the inquiries of the Press Agency, to which I referred in my reply on the 12th June to my hon. Friend, the name of a hospital was furnished in which the incident was stated to have occurred. The medical officer of the hospital was thereupon communicated with, and he reports that no patient answering to the description in my hon. Friend's question and in the Press has ever been an inmate of the hospital.
