§ Mr. Grovesasked the Secretary of Slate for War whether he will investigate the case of Dr. Farquharson, who was, in September last, approved for the post 630W of civilian medical practitioner at Fulwood Barracks and yet has not been appointed, and who, on inquiry, was referred by the Central Medical War Committee to the local committee, then to the medical officer of health and the regional medical officer, and finally to the director of medical services, Western Command?
§ Mr. EdenI am informed that Dr. Farquharson was one of a number of civilian doctors notified to the Command as available for medical examination duties at Preston, if required, on mobilisation. It was found, however, that the existing medical staff were able to perform these duties.
