§ Mr. MACLEANasked the Minister of Pensions whether he is aware that P. M'Alinder, 41, Hamilton Street, Govan, was an inmate of Hawkhead Asylum; that while there he received notification to attend the Adelphi Hotel, Glasgow, for the purpose of being medically examined; and that this man has been consequently examined and turned down by the appeal board; and whether, in view of the conflicting statements in this case, he will cause it to be reconsidered?
§ Major TRYONThis case has been very fully considered, but I regret that the Ministry are unable to admit connection between the man's mental condition and service. There is a right of appeal to the pensions appeal tribunal against this decision, which may be exercised through the local area office.
