HC Deb 28 June 1916 vol 83 c832
28. Mr. ASHLEY

asked whether, in view of the fact that friendly aliens are now allowed to enlist in the Army, it is proposed to grant permission to the same class of men to enrol in Volunteer Corps?

Mr. TENNANT

The Army Council consider that it would be premature to give any decision until there has been some experience of the experiment of enlisting aliens into the Regular Army, and until the Voluntary Force has taken a more concrete form.
