§ Mr. BOTTOMLEYasked the Secretary of State for War how many of the men who enlisted in 1914 and were subsequently, on account of wounds or illness, allotted to clerical, telephone, and similar work, are now classed in the demobilisation schedule as unskilled and are being retained in the Army on that ground?
Captain GUESTNo men are being retained in the Army solely on the ground that they are unskilled. Any men who have been allotted to sedentary duties on account of their low medical category will be released provided they are eligible for demobilisation under current instructions.
