HC Deb 26 June 1916 vol 83 cc528-9
43. Mr. SNOWDEN

asked the President of the Local Government Board if he has considered the case submitted to him by Mr. Thomas Bailey, a dairyman, of Exeter, who has been arrested by the military while his application for a revision of his certificate under the Military Service Act was pending; and if he has instructed the tribunal to rehear the case?

Mr. HAYES FISHER

My right hon. Friend has considered this case and is not prepared to intervene. The military authorities are not precluded from calling up for service a man who has a certificate of exemption from combatant service only, and has applied for a review of his certificate or for the rehearing of his case.
