§ 34. Mr. SAMUEL ROBERTSasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that a married man who attested under the Derby Group scheme and afterwards, desiring to enlist immediately, applied at the Fulford Barracks, York, for enlistment in the Royal Garrison Artillery, was told that he could not be accepted because he was an attested man, although the officer admitted that if an unattested man came in immediately after he could accept him for this branch of the Service; and, if not, whether he will make inquiries and have this practice discontinued?
§ Mr. TENNANTIf the facts are as stated, a mistake appears to have been made, as a voluntarily attested man can at any time come forward before he is called up for immediate enlistment in any unit in which there are, at the time, vacancies.
