§ Mr. KINGasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that Private Philip Miller, No. 557350, was only four weeks in the Army before being sent to France, during that time was mostly in hospital, was never put through any gas test, had no medical examination before being sent overseas, and that his section was told that they must go at once owing to a certain circumstance; and whether he will inquire into these facts with a view to Miller and any others in a similar position being sent home to undergo the necessary training and medical and gas tests?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONI am having inquiry made, and will communicate with my hon. Friend in due course.
§ Colonel ASHLEYasked the Minister of National Service if he can now state on what ground Edward Gregson, of 12, Moor Street, Kirkham, was arrested as an absentee on 26th June?
§ Sir A. GEDDESI regret that the report, which was immediately called for 329W on the question asked by my hon. and gallant Friend on the 4th of July, has not yet reached me. I will at once communicate with my hon. and gallant Friend on receipt of the information required.
