HC Deb 01 June 1954 vol 528 cc68-9W
Mr. Swingler

asked the Secretary of State for War under what circumstances, and to what extent, he will reveal extracts from Army medical records to ex-Service men or to civil medical authorities on request.

Mr. Head

The contents of Army medical records may be given, on request and with the consent of the men concerned, to civil doctors to assist in treatment. It is not the practice to disclose them to the men themselves.
