§ 50. Mr. G. FABERasked whether the period of exemption from military service of four British employés of the Dresdner Bank came to an end on the 8th March instant: and whether any further exemption for them or any of them has been asked for or granted?
§ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Bonar Law)I am informed by the controller that no appeal has been made to the City Tribunal to extend the exemptions to 8th March, 1917, granted in respect of four employés of the Dresdner Bank. The Bank propose, however, with the controller's approval, to ask the City Tribunal to permit them to appeal for further exemption to the 30th May, 1917, in respect of one of these employés who has been medically classified as B3 (sedentary duties abroad), and has not yet been called up, in order that the preparation of schedules of securities for vesting purposes may be expedited as far as possible. No appeal will be made in the other three cases.
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI am sorry that I have not got that.
