110. Major Nauģhtonasked the Secretary of State for War whether those Palestinians, Greeks and Cypriots who lost limbs fighting with the British troops in the Middle East received the same treatment and the same quality of artificial limbs as men of British nationality who came home for treatment.
§ Mr. Lawson:The men to whom the hon. Member refers have received the same surgical care and treatment as their comrades of Britisth nationality. Arrangements were made for them to be fitted with artificial limbs at a centre established in Alexandria under the supervision of an experienced craftsman trained by the contractors to the Ministry of Pensions Hospital at Roehampton. The limbs supplied have not the same finish as those fitted at Roehampton but they are satisfactory and serviceable. They have the advantage of not requiring the same amount of skilled maintenance as those made at Roehampton.
