HC Deb 05 December 1975 vol 901 c373W
Mr. McCusker

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether, when appealing to the Defence Council against his discharge, a soldier may request a personal hearing; and whether someone may accompany him to support his appeal and/or make representations on his behalf.

Mr. Robert C. Brown

A soldier appealing against his discharge does not have a right to a personal hearing by the Defence Council.
