HC Deb 15 May 1916 vol 82 c1113
20. Mr. JOWETT

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether, seeing that the business of making artificial limbs and supports has now become one of great national importance, he will make representations to the Appeal Tribunal which recently refused exemption to Mr. J. Bush, of Wakefield, who is engaged in that business and has work in hand which cannot be completed if he joins the Army, with the object of inducing the tribunal in question to reconsider his case?

The PRESIDENT of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. Long)

As I have previously explained, I cannot interfere with the decision of a tribunal in an individual case of this kind.
