HC Deb 06 July 1943 vol 390 c1954W
Mr. Hewlett

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will ensure that when doctors discover, on medical examination, any latent disease of which a called-up man may be unaware, he is in all cases told the exact reason for his rejection so that he may take private advice?

Mr. Tomlinson

It was formerly the practice to do this but the results were found to be unsatisfactory for various reasons. It is now the practice in such cases for the medical board to advise the man to consult his own doctor.
