HC Deb 19 December 1916 vol 88 c1288
39. Mr. RAMSAY MACDONALD

asked whether instructions have been issued to recruiting officers that men holding exemption certificates from tribunals should be ordered to present themselves voluntarily for medical examination and be threatened, if they do not do so, that the military will challenge the certificates of exemption held by these men?

Mr. MACPHERSON

I am not aware that any instructions of this character have been issued.
