HC Deb 23 February 1916 vol 80 cc678-9
50. Major NEWMAN

asked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that opposition to the Military Service Act is being justified in the country on the ground that a Member of this House was asked to organise such opposition by a member of the Cabinet, as the hands of the Prime Minister himself had been forced; and whether he will give a complete denial to such a statement?

The PRIME MINISTER

The statement mentioned in the first part of this question is without foundation.
