HC Deb 07 March 1916 vol 80 c1342
50. Mr. WATT

asked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been called to the fact that men are being accepted for clerical service under the Military Service Act, 1916, who are admittedly unfit for military service; and, if so, will he say why this is done, having regard to his pledge that there would be no industrial compulsion under that Act?

The PRIME MINISTER

I answered an identical question on the 2nd March, put by my hon. Friend the Member for North-West Lanark. I have nothing to add to the answer I then gave.

Mr. WATT

Does the right hon. Gentleman recollect that the last part of the question was not answered on 2nd March?

The PRIME MINISTER

I am afraid I cannot answer that.
