§ Mr. JOHN DENNISasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that members of Queen Mary's Women's Army Auxiliary Corps who claim to have been injured in pursuance of their service in the corps have no appeal against any decision of a medical board that their injury was not attributable to their service nor any opportunity of bringing evidence in support of their claim; and whether he will take steps to give women equal privileges in this respect to those enjoyed by men in similar circumstances?
§ Mr. FORSTERI think there is some misapprehension. Women are treated in exactly the same way as male civilians in this respect. The special arrangements for appeal boards under the Ministry of Pensions apply only to soldiers and sailors serving in the military and other forces of the Crown.
