HC Deb 08 July 1918 vol 108 cc21-2
74. Mr. SMALLWOOD

asked the Undersecretary of State for War whether, in a recent draft for overseas service made from Lovat's Scouts, there were men well over forty years of age, whilst in the same regiment there are men remaining at home whose age is under thirty years, and who have not yet been out in active service?

Mr. MACPHERSON

I have no information regarding the particular draft referred to, nor have I received any complaint.

Mr. SMALLWOOD

If I send the right hon. Gentleman the names will he look into the matter?

Mr. MACPHERSON

Most certainly!
