§ 77. Mr. GEORGE FABERasked whether voluntarily attested men who have been rejected for combatant service are to be drafted into Non-Combatant Corps along with conscientious objectors; and, if so, why they are to be penalised in such a way?
§ Mr. TENNANTNo men other than conscientious objectors are to be appointed to the Non-Combatant Corps. If the hon. Member has any information which leads him to think any other course is being followed, perhaps he will communicate with me.
81. Mr. EDMUND HARVEYasked whether attested men who have attained the age of forty-one years before being called up are still liable for military service, or whether any step is taken to cancel their attestation?
§ Mr. TENNANTI have already stated that if an attested man reaches his forty-first birthday before the date on which he is required to serve with the Colours, he will be left in the Reserve.
