HC Deb 07 August 1918 vol 109 cc1376-7W
Mr. SNOWDEN

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he will have special inquiry made into the case of Private No. 87,803, C Company, Royal Welsh Fusiliers, Cork, who has been in the Army eleven weeks, and of this time has been five weeks in hospital, and is now in hospital again after a few days with his unit; and whether, in view of this fact and the further facts that he has teen under medical care since early 1914 suffering from rheumatism and weak heart, and that he has worked at two munition factories, being discharged from each place as inefficient through physical incapacity and finally discharged from the Ministry of Munitions as unfit for substitution work, he will order the man's discharge from the Army as unfit?

Mr. MACPHERSON

I am making inquiry, and will inform my hon. Friend of the result in due course.
