30. Mr. OUTHWAITE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether enlistment under the Military Service Act on reaching eighteen years of age carries with it any obligation to serve for a longer period than the duration of the War?

Mr. MACPHERSON

Men who are called up under the provisions of the Military Service Acts, 1916, are deemed to have been enlisted and transferred to the Reserve for the duration of the War.
