HC Deb 05 July 1917 vol 95 c1276
86. Major McMICKING

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether his attention has been called to the case of a ploughman, who hitherto has been exempted, but who has now received notice to appear before the local tribunal; and whether, bearing in mind the promises that have been made not to take ploughmen from the land, he proposes to take action in this matter?

The SECRETARY for SCOTLAND (Mr. Munro)

The reply to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. I have asked the Board of Agriculture to keep the case in view.
