§ 65. Sir GEORGE GREENWOODasked the President to the Local Government Board whether he has now had a reply from the Northamptonshire Appeal Tribunal to his inquiry concerning the case of Mr. Walter Williamson, of Peterborough; and whether, in the event of that reply being unsatisfactory, he will indicate to the War Office the opinion of the Board that this man ought not to be called up for active service or, in the alternative, take steps to obtain a rehearing of his case?
Mr. FISHERI have been in communication with the Appeal Tribunal respecting the case. They appear to have given it very careful consideration, and I do not feel that I could properly intervene further in the matter. I do not think that I would be justified in expressing any opinion that the man should not be called up for service.
§ Sir G. GREENWOODHas the right hon Gentleman's attention been directed to the Military Service Regulations Amendment Order, 1916?
§ Mr. SPEAKERThe hon. Member ought to give notice of that question.
