HC Deb 25 May 1916 vol 82 cc2278-9
39. Mr. GEORGE FABER

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether a voluntarily attested man who has attained the age of forty-one years since his attestation, but before he has been called up for service, is eligible or not?

Mr. TENNANT

No, Sir. Under the present age limits, a voluntarily attested man who attains the age of forty-one years before he is called up for service is not retained with the Colours, but is passed to the Reserve, and would not be called up unless the age limit were extended.
