HC Deb 12 December 1950 vol 482 c138W
79. Mr. Viant

asked the Secretary of State for War the number of reservists who have been released from further service; and on what conditions.

Mr. Strachey

Of the reservists recalled for service with the active Army in Korea, 157 officers and 2,443 other ranks have so far been discharged or re-relegated to the Reserve, principally on medical or compassionate grounds or because their services were not required. In certain cases, where re-relegation to the Reserve takes place on medical grounds, the individual is examined by a medical board and, if found below the medical standard required, is discharged. In other cases individuals who are relegated to the Reserve remain liable to recall if their services are required.
