HC Deb 01 June 1916 vol 82 c2894
61. Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTT

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether the instructions which he has promised to issue to tribunals with regard to the exemption of the sole head of a business with dependants will apply to the cases of attested men as well as to the cases of men under the Military Service Acts?

Mr. HAYES FISHER

I may refer to the answer which I gave on Tuesday last, to a question by my hon. Friend the Member for the Tavistock Division, when I stated that the Regulations would not be retrospective, but would apply to voluntarily attested men.

Mr. RAFFAN

Will the Regulations to be issued to-day be available in the Vote Office, in case any Member desires to draw attention to some particular point?

Mr. HAYES FISHER

I will make inquiry, and, if possible, they shall be available at the Vote Office to-day.
