HC Deb 08 December 1919 vol 122 c927W
Sir W. DAVISON

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is now in a position to state why no gratuity has been granted to military masseuses who were employed throughout the War in military hospitals on their demobilisation, regard being had to the fact that substantial gratuities have been paid to Voluntary Aid Detachment nurses whose work was in many ways less exacting; and whether he will now take steps to remedy this state of affairs, which is felt most keenly by this branch of the military nursing service?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given on the 24th November to the hon. and gallant Member for Yeovil.
