asked the Minister of Labour how many men who have been discharged from the Army previous to the war as unfit for any form of military service have been called up under the Military Service Act, and how many holding such certificates of unfitness have been passed for service; and what steps he will take to see that such unfit men are not subjected to months of training which their disabilities make it dangerous for them to undergo?

The statistics asked for in the first part of the Question are not available. Men examined by a medical board and found to be unfit for any form of military service are placed in Grade IV and are not called up.
