HC Deb 26 November 1917 vol 99 c1658W
Mr. KING

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War what is the result of the promised reconsideration of the question of sending back to the front soldiers who have suffered from neurasthenia?

Mr. MACPHERSON

This question has been discussed with the expert advisers, and the proposal is to classify neurasthenics on discharge from hospital in groups representing the periods during which they should not serve again in the firing line.
