§ Mr. DENNIS HERBERTasked the Secretary of State for War whether he can now see his way to release the men in the 334th Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps, now stationed at Brocton Camp, Staffordshire, who, under Regulations now in force, are eligible for immediate demobilization?
Captain GUESTSteps have already been taken to release as far as possible the demobilisable personnel of all field ambulances in Great Britain, but as I have already stated in this House, personnel of the Royal Army Medical Corps, although eligible for demobilisation, are liable to be temporarily retained as part of the-military machinery for demobilisation, until their services can be spared or they can be replaced. Men so retained are being replaced as rapidly as possible by men who are not eligible for demobilisation.
