§ Mr. Grovesasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware of the grave discontent amongst the medical profession by reason of men being called upon for professional service with the armed Forces although they are married men with families and are in active practice, while younger men without such responsibilities, and who have also volunteered for service, 250W have not been called up; and whether he will take steps to remedy this anomaly?
§ Mr. StanleyI am not aware of any grave discontent. The position is that all volunteers who are suitable and can, in the view of their local medical war committee, be spared, have been, or are being, invited to apply for commissions in the medical service of one or other of the armed Forces.
