HC Deb 12 April 1938 vol 334 c952W
Sir F. Sanderson

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he can state the number of men who are invalided out of the Army annually through physical defects?

Sir V. Warrender

I would refer my hon. Friend to the figures given on page 30 of the General Annual Report on the British Army, 1937 (Cmd. 5686), among which are shown the number of soldiers invalided from the Regular Army in each of the last to years. The figure for 1937 was 1,282, the lowest since the Great War and 290 less than that for 1936.
