HC Deb 13 November 1945 vol 415 cc2053-4W
Lieut.-Colonel Lipton

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will cancel a recent instruction depriving personnel, with less than six months to serve before release, of the full dental treatment to which they would otherwise be entitled.

Mr. Lawson

No, Sir. This action was taken in order to avoid serious delay in the release of dental surgeons. All urgent and essential treatment is still given during the last six months of a soldier's service.
