§ Major Sir B. FALLEasked the Minister of National Service if he can give any reason why Private A. A. Robinson, No. 21672, now attached to the 53rd Y. and S. Battalion, A Company, Hants Regiment, Rolleston Camp, Salisbury, has not been released from the Army, as this man was asked for, with all the necessary papers, in December, 1918, and again on 28th January, 1919, but is still detained, Private Robinson being absolutely necessary for the carrying on of his employer's business (chemist) and the obligations under the National Health Insurance, and as the partners in this business are serving and the staff is so depleted that that business absolutely demands the presence of Private Robinson?
Captain GUESTInquiries will be made into the matter, and I will inform my hon. and gallant friend of the result as soon as possible.
