HC Deb 17 May 1916 vol 82 cc1508-9
31. Mr. PERCY HARRIS (Leicester, Harborough)

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War if the Group system under Lord Derby's scheme is still open; and, if so, up to what date will it be possible for married men to offer themselves under it for attestation?

Mr. TENNANT

Yes, Sir. The date of closing the groups is under consideration.

Mr. HARRIS

Will it be announced at an early date, so as to relieve anxiety?
