HC Deb 17 April 1918 vol 105 c386
23. Sir CHARLES HENRY

asked what arrangements, if any, will be made so that men called up for service under the new Military Service Bill who, from their qualifications in civil life, would be eligible for officers can obtain commissioned rank?

Mr. MACPHERSON

The matter is at present under the consideration of the Army Council.

No, not necessarily.

Mr. WATT

Social status?

Mr. MACPHERSON

No, not necessarily.
