HC Deb 03 June 1919 vol 116 cc1855-6W
Mr. THOMAS DAVIES

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that men are being demobilised who are in a state of complete physical incapacity and who should properly be discharged as unfit for further military service with a full disability pension; whether the effect of substituting demobilisation for discharge will be to give such a man a month's. Army pay in place of a month's full pension; whether such a procedure is contrary to the policy of the Government; whether he will give instructions that it should at once cease; and whether he will make inquiries of the National Health Insurance Commission, (England) on the subject?

Mr. CHURCHILL

All men who are unfit for further military service are discharged under King's Regulations paragraph 392 (xvi.). The latter part of the question, therefore, does not arise.
