HC Deb 15 April 1959 vol 603 c77W
54. Mr. Nabarro

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will now state the contents of the medical report he received upon 23604106 ex-Rifleman T. Williams, Green Jackets Brigade, now discharged from the Army and returned to civil life, and professionally known as Terry Dene; for what precise reasons he was discharged from the Army; and whether he will make a full statement.

Mr. H. Fraser

Medical reports are confidential and it is not the normal practice to disclose their contents. I can say, however, that the report of the civil mental hospital in which Rifleman Williams was an Army patient for seven weeks left us in no doubt that he was unfit for military service and should be invalided out. This view was confirmed by an Army medical board.
