§ Mr. R. GWYNNEasked the Secretary of State for War whether any provision is made in cases where men who, at the time that Army Order XIV. of 29th January, 1919, was issued, had been in hospital for six months or more, and on the strength of the previous Regulation that men who had been in hospital for twenty-eight days would be discharged neither the men or their employers had taken steps in regard to obtaining their release, so that on their subsequent discharge from hospital they find their case is prejudiced, owing to the fact that they did not avail themselves of the facilities then afforded?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe demobilisation of men discharged from hospital is now dependent on whether or not they are eligible under current Instructions. If eligible, they are given a certain priority of demobilisation.
