HC Deb 10 March 1898 vol 54 c1243
MR. ARNOLD-FORSTER

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War, whether any Reserve men, offering themselves for re-engagement, have been rejected as medically unfit; and, whether such men will be deprived of their Reserve pay, or whether men who have been certified as unfit to serve in a battalion at home during peace time will be retained on the strength of the Reserve and receive pay as qualified for active service in the event of war?

MR. BRODRICK

The returns of men rejected have not yet been received. Each, case will be considered on its merits.

MR. ARNOLD-FORSTER

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether Reservists may re-engage at any period of their Reserve service, or only during the first year after leaving the Colours?

MR. BRODRICK

The only restriction as to service is that the Reservist must still have two years to serve.
