HC Deb 20 June 1940 vol 362 c264W
Mr. Lyons

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour whether, in view of present availability of medical examiners, he will consider taking steps to accelerate the medical examination of further age groups?

Mr. Assheton

Medical examinations have already been very considerably accelerated. The number of examinations has been more than doubled within the last month and will be conducted at whatever rate is necessary to satisfy the requirements of the Forces.
