HC Deb 05 December 1944 vol 406 cc382-3W
Mr. De Chair

asked the Secretary of State for War whether any officers or sisters on the staff of the No. 60 British General Hospital, who have been overseas in the Middle East and India for more than 4½ years, are still in India; and, if so, how soon they will be repatriated.

Sir J. Grigg

There were recently two officers and seven nursing sisters eligible for repatriation at this hospital. One nursing sister has sailed, one officer and three sisters have been allotted passages and one officer and one sister are now awaiting passages. The other two have chosen not to be repatriated now.
