HC Deb 10 December 1941 vol 376 c1547W
Major Peto

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the general extension of the age limit for liability for service, he will consider a less rigid operation of the age limit for retirement of officers of low medical category, many of whom are fully capable of performing valuable work in sedentary jobs?

Captain Margesson

There is no separate age limit for the retirement of officers of low medical category. Wherever possible, officers who are not physically fit for active service in the field are transferred to more suitable appointments in which they continue to render useful service.
