HC Deb 27 June 1917 vol 95 c361
26. Sir H. CRAIK

asked the Undersecretary of State for War whether he has now completed his inquiries into the question of persons of military age and fitness serving as military representatives before tribunals; and whether he can state the result of these inquiries?

Mr. FORSTER

Out of ninety-four appeal military representatives eleven of military age have been found fit for general service. Instructions have been issued that arrangements must be made for these eleven officers to be relieved of their recruiting duties and to rejoin their units for duty.

Mr. FABER

Will these gentlemen go before the tribunal in the ordinary way like anybody else?

Mr. FORSTER

No, Sir. They are officers in the Army.
