§ MR. O'DOHERTY (Donegal, N.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the enlistment some weeks ago of Edward Moore, of Rossville Street, Londonderry, a boy under eighteen years of age, in the Inniskilling Fusiliers; and whether, seeing that enlistment under eighteen years by the recruiting sergeant is contrary to conditions of Enlistment No. 5, issued by the War Office, the authorities will direct the discharge of this boy out of the Army.
LORD STANLEYAll cases of enlistment under age are decided by the General Officer Commanding the district concerned, who will no doubt give the case all proper consideration.
