§ 104. Mr. PRINGLEasked whether it is the intention of the Government to allow 1186 fourth and fifth-year medical students to complete their curriculum and thus qualify for commissions in the Royal Army Medical Corps?
§ Mr. TENNANTMedical students in their fourth or fifth years of study and those in their third year of study whose examination takes place during the winter session must either attest under the group system or become liable to the Military Service Act. The fourth and fifth-year students will not be called up, and if the third-year students pass their examination they also will not be called up, but if they fail they will be called up. Students who have not attested under the group system, and who in consequence become liable to the Military Service Act, must appeal to the local tribunal if they desire exemption.
§ Mr. PRINGLEWhat is the intention of the War Office as to using these men when they qualify?
§ Mr. TENNANTIt is intended that in the fourth and fifth year they should continue their studies.
