HC Deb 18 June 1917 vol 94 c1448W
Mr. HOGGE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the case of Captain Grievson, who was removed from his battalion within five days of making an adverse report upon the health of the battalion, when he reported that 150 men were unfit to go into training; whether other medical officers have also been removed from the same battalion since for making similar reports; what action has been taken in the matter; and whether any inquiry will be held?

Mr. MACPHERSON

Captain Grievson was sent home from France and admitted to hospital suffering from severe nervous symptoms due to overstrain from prolonged service in the field. The War office has no information as to the matters suggested by my hon. Friend, but the above facts may explain them.
