HC Deb 24 February 1916 vol 80 cc788-9
21. Mr. ELLIS DAVIES

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether a man (single) forty years of age who married on 2nd November, 1915, is within the provisions of the Military Service Act, 1916?

The PRESIDENT of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. Long)

My hon. Friend is much better able than I am to express an opinion on a rather nice question of law. I should myself be inclined to give the man to whom he refers the benefit of the doubt.
