HC Deb 17 May 1916 vol 82 cc1510-1
38. Mr. SNOWDEN

asked if, under the new Military Service Bill, men who have reached the age of forty-one before they are actually called up for service with the Colours will be exempt so long as the age is not extended?

Mr. TENNANT

The new Military Service Bill does not apply to men who have attained their forty-first birthday before they would otherwise require to present themselves for service with the Colours.
