HC Deb 07 April 1910 vol 16 c767W
Sir WALTER NUGENT

asked the Secretary of State for War whether Patrick Dockery, No. 5603, late private of the 2nd Coldstream Guards, now of Athlone, Ireland, will be allowed to rejoin his regiment, having been recently deprived of his pension on the grounds that he was no longer disabled and was fit for active service?

Mr. HALDANE

While the Chelsea Commissioners were of opinion that this man had recovered from his disability, and that his wage-earning capacity was not impaired, they did not state that they considered him fit for active service as a soldier. This man, however, if under thirty years of age, can present himself for re-enlistment, and if he is found fit for military service his case will be considered.
