HC Deb 06 July 1916 vol 83 c1672
81. Sir A. MARKHAM

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he will consider the desirability of having lists prepared of attested men enlisted into the Army who, prior to their attestation, were engaged in businesses and other occupations, and whose enlistment has occasioned hardship to the men and their families, so that when peace is declared these men, so far as is practicable, can first be discharged from the Army?

Mr. TENNANT

This proposal has been considered, but the preparation of such a list is regarded as impracticable.
