HC Deb 09 November 1908 vol 195 cc1681-2
COLONEL LOCKWOOD (Essex, Epping)

On behalf of the hon. Member for the Andover Division of Hampshire. I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he will state whether a man enlisting in the new Special Reserve is liable, whenever the Army Reserve is called out, to be sent abroad to his regiment and retained abroad for one year if hostilities are still in progress.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. HALDANE,) Haddington

Yes, Sir. This liability is set forth on the attestation paper and on the notice paper served to intending recruits prior to attestation.
