HC Deb 30 July 1918 vol 109 cc254-5W
Colonel ASHLEY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that T. H. Bates, late private of the King's Royal Rifle Corps, No. 5294, was discharged time-expired on the 11th January, 1916, although he was actually in hospital on that date, and that in consequence of nephritis, sustained in France, and for which he was invalided home to England, he was granted a conditional disability pension for twelve months; and whether the man is entitled to discharge under paragraph 392 (xvi.), King's Regulations, as no longer physically fit for war service?

Mr. MACPHERSON

The question whether, in cases such as this, any alteration should be made in the sub-paragraph of paragraph 392 of the King's Regulation, under which the man was discharged, is at present under consideration.
