HC Deb 27 March 1917 vol 92 c216W
Mr. ORDE-POWLETT

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether, in view of the numbers of men for discharge in Home battalions after each visit of a medical board, some modification could be made of paragraph 418 of the King's Regulations, such as allowing the necessary information to be typewritten instead of being personally written by the commanding officer, thus releasing him from many hours of clerical work and enabling him to devote more time to the training of his battalion?

Mr. MACPHERSON

The question whether any modification of this paragraph of the King's Regulations is desirable is being considered. As discharges are reduced to a minimum at the present, no immediate action appears necessary.
