HC Deb 20 February 1948 vol 447 c273W
Mr. Walkden

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he has now reviewed the request of Mr. J. W. Stapleton, of 37, Askern Road, Bentley, Doncaster, to be accepted in the Service as a Territorial soldier with the 906 R.A.S.C. (A.A.C.T.), T.A.; and, in view of the fact that Mr. Stapleton was, after four years Army Service, discharged as medically unfit, never received a disability pension and is now in an improved state of health, will he give instructions for the services of this ex-soldier to be accepted in the local Territorial force.

Mr. Shinwell

This case has been reconsidered with great care, but I regret that Mr. Stapleton cannot be accepted for enlistment into the Territorial Army.
