HC Deb 12 July 1917 vol 95 c2132W
Mr. KILEY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the medical board are passing and the recruiting authorities are receiving into the Army men suffering from venereal diseases, even when the same are attending as patients the London Lock Hospital; and, if so, will he state the object of filling military hospitals with such men?

Mr. MACPHERSON

The answer is in the affirmative to the first and second parts of the question. The object is, by obtaining skilled medical treatment, to make these men available for military service at the earliest possible date.
