HC Deb 06 June 1919 vol 116 cc2429-30W
Mr. JOHN JONES

asked the Undersecretary of State to the Air Ministry whether he is aware that W. Mummery, No. 220892, 1 A.C. (attached 99th Squadron, Royal Air Force), joined the Royal Naval Air Service in 1916, was in France till the 14th May, 1919, and on that day was sent from Marseilles to India without any leave; that this man and others with him were never medically examined before being sent to India; and whether it is the practice to transfer men to distant stations. in tropical climates without medical examinations and without leave?

Major-General SEELY

Inquiries are being made in this case, and I will communicate the result to the hon. Member very shortly.
