HC Deb 02 December 1942 vol 385 c1177W
Mr. Ivor Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that at an inquest at Keighley on the body of Private Ronald Olive Tillsley, Pioneer Corps, who died of peritonitis, the jury expressed their opinion that if the man had received medical attention in time his life could have been saved; that the unit medical officer did not think it necessary to see Private Tillsley although he was too ill to attend sick parade; and whether he will cause these circumstances to be investigated with a view to taking appropriate action?

Mr. A. Henderson

This case is at present the subject of an investigation and I will communicate with my hon. Friend as soon as it has been completed.
