§ Sir S. Reedasked the Minister of Health why the application of the Bucks County Council for the release under Class B of Sergeant L. L. Maxwell, 1169432, R.A.F., whose services are urgently required as head cook of the Bucks Mental Hospital, Stone, has been refused.
§ Mr. BevanI am informed by the Board of Control that they gave careful consideration to this application but decided, in view of the many stronger claims which they had received, that the man in question should not be included in their small quota of Class B releases. I understand, however, that his release may shortly be expected under Class A.
