§ 109. Mr. SNOWDENasked the Minister of Munitions if his Department is issuing new badges or certificates to workmen in controlled establishments to be valid as certificates of exemption under the Military Service Act, or will war badges previously held be valid as such certificates; and is it necessary for the holders of badges at the time the Act came into operation to get new badges or certificates or to apply to the local tribunals for exemption?
§ Dr. ADDISONA certificate rightfully held with a war service badge on 1st March will be valid as a certificate of exemption under the Act, and new certificates are not being issued in such cases. It is not necessary for a man who holds such a certificate on that date to get a new badge or certificate, or to apply to a local tribunal for exemption. This, however, does not apply to the holder of a war munitions volunteer badge. I am sending my hon. Friend a memorandum issued by the Ministry on this subject.
