§ 70. Mr. ANDERSONasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether it is intended that temporary and conditional certificates of exemption granted under the, Military Service Act, 1916, shall automatically become non-reviewable upon the person in respect of whom such certificate is granted reaching the age of forty-one years?
§ Mr. TENNANTIf a man, owing to his holding a temporary or conditional certificate of exemption, had not in consequence, by the time his forty-first birthday arrived, been called up, his liability under the Act would, I think, cease.
§ 77. Mr. THOMASasked the Under-Secretary for War whether he is aware that a number of men have been discharged from the Army during the past few months for some such reasons as not being likely to become an efficient soldier; and whether these men, having offered themselves for enlistment since 14th August, 1915, and since been discharged, holding Army Form B. 2079, are included among the exceptions covered by paragraph 6 of the First Schedule of the Military Service Act, 1916?
§ Mr. TENNANTParagraph 6 of the First Schedule of the Military Service Act, 1916, refers only to men who have been rejected on offering themselves for enlistment. Men who have been discharged are dealt with under paragraph 5 of the Schedule, but this excepts only men discharged in consequence of disablement or ill-health.
