§ Mr. H. M'LARENasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that in the Royal Army Medical Corps many men who are over thirty-seven years of age and who had joined in 1915 are being retained; whether he is aware that in the 43rd General Hospital in Macedonia alone there are over sixty men who had joined in 1915; whether he is aware that the inspection of the register is not being properly carried out; and what steps he proposes to take generally, and especially in Macedonia, to see that this state of things is immediately remedied?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLAll men, except those in India and Russia, who joined the Colours in 1915, or are over thirty-seven, will have proceeded for demobilisation by the end of August, in accordance with the instructions recently issued. I do not think any special action is called for.
