HC Deb 18 March 1919 vol 113 cc1932-3W
Mr. RENDALL

asked the Secretary of State for War if Lance-Corporal F. C. Bartlett, No. 235018, is at Killon House Hospital, Worksop, Notts, having been removed there from Warwick War Hospital, Sheffield, suffering from foot injuries; if he was allowed to go home for a Christmas holiday; if letters have been written to the commanding officer asking him to permit Bartlett's removal to a war hospital at Downend, Bristol, which is within a mile of his home, and where his wife and friends could see him; if such letters have not even been acknowledged; and whether, as the commanding officer of the Downend, Bristol, Hospital, has undertaken to accept Bartlett if the transfer is approved, the transfer can now be allowed without further delay?

Captain GUEST

I regret that my inquiries in this case are not yet complete, but I will write to my hon. Friend as soon as I am in a position to do so.
