HC Deb 29 May 1916 vol 82 c2401W
Mr. SNOWDEN

asked the Undersecretary for War if there is any appeal from the decision of the Army doctor who passes a man under the Military Service Act; and, if not, will he create an appeal medical board containing a certain number of civilian doctors to whom recruits may appeal if they are not satisfied with the decision in the first medical examination?

Mr. TENNANT

The final decision as to fitness for military service rests with an Army medical board. There is no appeal from the decision of the medical board, nor is it desirable to make any such arrangement as is suggested by the hon. Member.
