HC Deb 12 February 1917 vol 90 c288W
Sir JOHN BARRAN

asked whether there is an urgent need for dental mechanics in the Army; and, if so, whether the War Office is prepared, in order to meet this need, to give the first consideration to those members of the dental profession who have already done home or foreign service in Line regiments?

Mr. MACPHERSON

There is now no shortage of dental mechanics for the Army. A temporary shortage, which occurred some months ago, was made good by transfers from other arms of the Service.
