HC Deb 09 June 1920 vol 130 c419W
Mr. GWYNNE

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the War Office whether he will ascertain from the D.M.S., Egyptian Expeditionary Force, why in some cases after a medical board has been applied for by an officer commanding hospital in Egypt, the board has not been convened until several weeks after the application, and, in consequence, the sick in question could not be sent to the United Kingdom by hospital ships sailing during that period; and how many officers and other ranks boarded or recommended for transfer to the United Kingdom were left in Egypt on 13th May after the "Glengorm Castle" had sailed?

Sir A. WILLIAMSON

A Report is being obtained, and I will communicate with the hon. Member as soon as it is received.
