§ 13. Sir WILLIAM BYLESasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, in view of his promise that attested men who had not received a call-ing-up notice before 1st September, 1916. should not be liable to arrest until the Courts had decided a test case as to their liability for military service he will now arrange that all such men shall receive a calling-up notice from the recruiting officer before any proceeding is taken to bring them before the Courts as defaulters?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONAttested men rejected subsequently to attestation, who have not been sent a calling-up notice pending the decision of (he High Court on their liability for service, will be sent a calling-up notice in the ordinary way. It is not, however, proposed to send a further calling-up notice to men who have already been sent a calling-up notice, but whose notice was suspended pending the decision of the High Court. These men have already been called up for service, and they will be informed by the recruiting officer, that it is their duty to report for service in accordance with their calling-up notice.
