Viscount WOLMER

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that Gunner A. Birch, No. 168966, Royal Garrison Artillery, has been urgently appealed for by his late civil employers for work of national importance; that Gunner Birch's medical category is B2; and that the Ministry of National Service have recommended that this soldier should be released, provided that his medical category was lower than A; and what action the War Office proposes to take in the matter?

Mr. MACPHERSON

Orders have already been issued for Gunner Birch to be released, provided his medical category is as stated.
