HC Deb 14 November 1916 vol 87 cc548-9
105. Mr. RICHARD LAMBERT

asked the President of the Local Government Board if he is aware that Mr. W. J. Cooper, of 12, Selborne Road, Walthamstow, presented himself for attestation in December, 1915, and was not accepted; that, upon a receipt of Form W 3299, he presented himself for further medical examination on 12th September, 1916, and was asked to call for re-examination at 2 p.m. on 11th October, and, being then passed in Class C 2, the Walthamstow local tribunal refused to hear his application for exemption on the ground that it had not been lodged prior to 30th September; and, in view of the fact that Mr. Cooper's re-examination was deferred until after this date, whether an opportunity will be given him to present his claim for a hearing before the tribunal?

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

I am in communication with the local tribunal on the subject of the hon. Member's question.
