§ 51. Mr. HACKETTasked the Secretary for Scotland whether John Doran, of Thurles, county Tipperary, Ireland, a bricklayer by trade, was arrested in Glasgow on the 18th ultimo and compelled to join the Army; is he aware that this man only came over from Ireland to do some temporary work on the invitation of the Board of Trade officials; and will steps be taken to have him released immediately, and thus carry out the purport and intentions of the Military Service Act?
§ The SECRETARY for SCOTLAND (Mr. Tennant)I have just received a letter from my hon. Friend giving some particulars about this case. I am making further inquiries, and if it should appear that my hon. Friend has been correctly informed as to the facts I shall make a representation in the case to the War Office.
