§ Mr. BROOKESasked the Secretary of State for War whether permission could be given to members of pensions committees or other competent persons to visit the military hospitals in order to ascertain the number of soldiers who are on the eve of receiving their discharge, so that steps could be taken to look after their interests in the period intervening before the actual resumption of their civil occupation?
§ Mr. FORSTERThis information is already given to local committees, and should reach them fourteen days or more before the man's discharge.
