HC Deb 13 January 1916 vol 77 c1758
46. Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

asked if single men with dependants are to be exempted from compulsory enlistment, what is the position of an attested married man with a widowed mother dependent upon him; and is he also exempt?

The PRIME MINISTER

Under the Bill, single men with dependants can claim an exemption (absolute, conditional, or temporary), and an attested married man with a widowed mother dependent upon him can claim a similar exemption under the Derby scheme.
