§ 49. Colonel C. LOWTHERasked the Prime Minister, seeing that our present national policy does not produce the maximum of efficiency, whether he will introduce a measure to compulsorily enrol every woman and man between the ages of sixteen and sixty with the view of applying their services in the most profitable manner for the benefit of the State?
§ The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Asquith)No, Sir; I do not think this is a practicable suggestion.
§ Colonel C. LOWTHERI beg to give notice that if I do not get an opportunity to raise this question on the Second Reading of the Military Service Bill to-night I will do so on the Adjournment.
