HC Deb 11 May 1916 vol 82 c888
10. Mr. CROOKS

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether men in the Naval Reserve will be called up for military service under the Military Service Bill, or whether they will have to await calling up for service, in the Navy?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the ADMIRALTY (Dr. Macnamara)

Probably my right hon. Friend has in mind not the men in the Royal Naval Reserve, but the men enrolled in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve (Section Y)—the Navy groups. These men will be called up as they are required for the Naval Service, and will not be liable for Military Service.
