HC Deb 17 July 1916 vol 84 cc646-7
93. Mr. HOGGE

asked whether men who attested under the Derby scheme, but who attained the age of forty-one before the limit of time in the Military Service Act, are likely to be called up, or whether they will simply be retained in the Reserve?

Mr. FORSTER

Those who attained the age of forty-one prior to the day on which they are ordered to report to the military authorities will not be retained with the Colours, but will remain in the Reserve.
