HC Deb 06 February 1951 vol 483 cc190-1W
Mr. G. Hutchinson

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the general desire of commanding officers and the changed circumstances, he will now review his decision not to include medical inspection rooms in new or reconstructed Territorial centres.

Mr. Strachey

Every Territorial Army unit with a medical officer on its establishment is authorised to have a separate room for his use, designed for the normal day to day medical requirements. When a room is required for a large medical parade, one or more of the lecture rooms can be used for this purpose. I do not consider, in view of the comparatively small use to which it might be put, that a separate medical inspection room is justified.
