§ Mr. Doddsasked the Minister of Labour on what date or dates Malcolm Harris was seen by medical boards before 11th July, 1955; on what date he was examined by the consultant, whose report resulted in his being instructed to report to the Royal Air Force despite his need to wear a special spinal corset with steel supports, who is the consultant involved; and, in view of the fact that Harris has subsequently been found unsuitable for any form of national service, what action has been taken to inform the consultant of his mistake and to dispense with his services as a consultant.
§ Mr. WatkinsonMr. Harris was examined by a National Service Medical Board on 28th February, 1955, and by a consultant on 17th March, 1955. It is not the practice to disclose the names of consultants. I do not accept the contention that the consultant was at fault in his diagnosis of this case, and the last part of the Question, therefore, does not arise.
