§ Mr. ROWNTREEasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that the constables of the Metropolitan Force who are now being released for military service are required to be examined by the chief police surgeon; and whether, in view of the dissatisfaction which is being caused by this procedure, he is prepared to give instructions that the examination should be conducted by the Army Medical Board, an independent body?
§ Sir G. CAVEThe hon. Member has been misinformed. The examinations are being conducted in the usual way by Army Medical Boards, and the Chief Surgeon has not intervened in any way whatever.
