§ 40. Mr. SNOWDENasked if an attested man who has not been called up who has reached the age of forty-one before the Military Service Act, 1916, was passed, will be released from his attestation and be exempt from military service, in view of the promise of the Government that attested men would not be placed in a worse position than unattested men who come under the Military Service Act, 1916?
§ Mr. TENNANTA man who reaches the age of forty-one before he is actually called up for service, whether he is a voluntarily attested man or a man deemed to be attested under the Military Service Act, is not called up, but is passed to the Reserve, and would not be subject to be called up for military service unless the age of military service is, in future, extended. Instructions on this point were issued some time ago.
