HC Deb 10 May 1916 vol 82 c645
25. Sir EDWARD GOULDING

asked whether attested married men under the Derby scheme who attain the age of forty-one years before the date on which they are to join the Colours are exempt from military service?

Mr. TENNANT

If a man attains his forty-first birthday before he receives the individual notice calling him up for service, he would not be taken for service under existing conditions, but would remain in the Reserve. He would, however, be liable to be called up if it should happen that the standard of age for military service were raised in the future.
