HC Deb 15 July 1943 vol 391 c378W
Mr. Rhys Davies

asked the Minister of Labour whether medical boards are made familiar in any way with the intensive training expected of men in a modern army when they examine them for military service?

Mr. Bevin

No, Sir. The medical boards' decisions indicate whether or not in their opinion a man is capable of undergoing physical exertion involving severe strain, and the allocation of men to the various corps by the Army authorities is made in the light of this and other relevant information.
