HC Deb 08 March 1916 vol 80 c1519
67. Sir THOMAS ESMONDE

asked the President of the Local Government Board if his attention has been called to the case of Mr. John T. Dur, an Irish medical student at Edinburgh, who has been ordered to report himself for enlistment; whether Mr. Dur and others similarly cir cumstanced in Great Britain are bound to enlist; and what steps have been taken in Mr. Dur's case?

Mr. TENNANT

If Mr. Dur is unattested and is only temporarily resident in the United Kingdom, he would be excepted from the operation of the Military Service Act; if he is ordinarily resident he would be treated as explained in the answer I gave to the hon. Member for North-West Lancashire, 2nd March.
