§ Mr. Grovesasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, whether he will investigate the circumstances attending the fact that Eric T. Phipps, 173, Odessa Road, Forest Gate, E.7, joined the Royal Air Force on the 1st May after medical examination at Kingsway and that this necessitated his retirement from his situation; whether he is aware that at Drayton he was dismissed on medical grounds; and whether, as this young man has lost 425W a situation in civilian life owing to the medical dismissal, he will compensate the man accordingly?
§ Sir K. WoodThis candidate was rejected at West Drayton prior to final acceptance for enlistment on account of426W a disability of a spasmodic nature which was manifested there but not during his medical examination at Kingsway. I regret that the circumstances are not such as to entitle the candidate to any payment of compensation from public funds.
