asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether medical men who are called up to serve as officers in the Royal Army Medical Corps are required to pay their own railway fares from their homes to London; and whether he is prepared to remedy the hardship thus caused to doctors resident in Scotland or at a distance from London?

Royal Army Medical Corps officers do not necessarily join for duty in London on first appointment, but proceed from their homes to their stations direct. Free travelling for this journey is not admissible.
