HC Deb 10 August 1916 vol 85 c1218
53. Mr. SNOWDEN

asked the President of the Local Government Board if the indentures of a youth called up under the Military Service Act are cancelled, or if he can compel the employer to complete the contract on his release from the Army; and if the employer can compel the apprentice to complete the unexpired period of the apprenticeship when the young man is released from the Military Service Act?

The PRESIDENT of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. Long)

The question is not one on which I could give an authoritative opinion. Much might depend on the terms of the particular indenture.
