HC Deb 23 April 1913 vol 52 c333
17. Sir REGINALD POLE-CAREW

asked whether the Militia Ballot Act is still in existence; whether it could be made use of in an emergency; and, if so, to what branch of the Service could it be applied?

Colonel SEELY

The Militia Ballot Acts are still unrepealed, but they could not be applied to any existing branch of the Service without further legislation.
