HC Deb 02 May 1940 vol 360 cc923-4W
Mr. Glenvil Hall

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that Mr. Allen Haigh, of 21, Thorp Avenue, Field-house, Holinfirth, was passed grade I at a recent medical Inspection in his area for men being called to the Colours in spite of the fact that he had been notified as tubercular in 1930 and had been under treatment for a number of years for myocardial weakness and valvular disease of the heart; and whether he will have this man re-examined?

Mr. Assheton

I am making inquiries and will communicate the result to the hon. Member. I should add that if medical evidence is produced which suggests that a man has been wrongly graded, it is the practice to submit it to the chairman of the Medical Board, and where necessary the man is re-examined.
