§ Mr. Naylorasked the Home Secretary whether he will authorise the recognition of a service discharge certificate, issued in respect of physical disability, as sufficient evidence of unfitness for fire-watching duties, in place of the usual medical certificate?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonIn view especially of the shortage of manpower it would not be right to exempt from fire guard duties all invalided ex-Service men since the standard-of fitness required of a man in the Services is much higher than that required of a fire guard.
