§ 12. Mr. G. Thomasasked the Minister of Labour why the Cardiff Medical Tribunal revised the medical grade of a Cardiff youth, whose name has been supplied to him, from grade I to grade IV without a second medical examination; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodThe man to whom the hon. Member refers refused to submit to a medical re-examination on 30th April, 1956, and failed to attend another examination arranged for 6th June, The medical board therefore revised the grading on the medical evidence of the man's own doctor, which was not available at the first examination because the man had failed to disclose that he had been under treatment for a condition which would render him unfit for service.
