HC Deb 23 February 1916 vol 80 c678
48. Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

asked the Prime Minister when he proposes to issue instructions bringing the Derby attestation scheme into line with the provisions of the Military Service Act, 1916, in regard to exemptions?

The PRIME MINISTER

Instructions have already been issued assimilating, so far as is appropriate, the provisions relating to voluntarily attested men to those relating to men who come under the Military Service Act.
