HC Deb 28 February 1917 vol 90 cc2012-3
13. Mr. GINNELL

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he will say on what statutory authority have the instructions now in force been issued that all discharges under age are suspended; and whether Private M. Connor, No. 28720, under sixteen years of age, and now in Mullingar Barracks, will be immediately sent home to his parents?

Mr. MACPHERSON

Connor has been discharged as a special case. In regard to the first part of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given on 19th February to the hon. Member for West Clare.
