§ 3. Sir PHILIP MAGNUSasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether Gaston Veitch, born at Bayonne in 1896 and now at school at York, the son of Eng- 366 lish parents, his father having been British Consul at Réunion, is liable to be called up as a conscript in the French Army, and has received a summons to return to France this month; and whether he is eligible to join, as he now wishes, the English Army, for which he has been for some time in training?
§ Sir E. GREYThe case referred to has not been brought to my notice, but if the facts are represented to me I shall be happy to consider whether His Majesty's Government could properly take any action in the matter.
