26. Mr. E. HARVEYasked the Secretary of State for War whether he has yet received a report on the case of Mr. Sidney J. C. Warr, of Southend, who made his claim for exemption before the Appeal Tribunal on Saturday, 17th June, and on the 24th received a telegram from the tribunal granting him leave to appeal to the Central Tribunal, but not withstanding that he had returned his calling-up paper to the recruiting officer with the information that he was appealing to the Central Tribunal was arrested on 27th June as an absentee; and what steps he is taking to remedy the injustice that has been done?
§ Mr. FORSTERI have received a report from the Southend Recruiting Office about a man of the name of Warr whose Christian names are Reginald Moss Newport. This man does not seem to be identical with the man named in the question, who does not appear to be known. If Reginald Moss Newport Warr is the man in whom the hon. Member is interested, the particulars contained in the report will be sent to him by letter, with his permission.
§ Mr. FORSTERI said I did not take it that it was the same person, but further inquiries will be made.
