HC Deb 13 June 1918 vol 106 cc2352-3
54. Mr. STANTON

asked the Minister of National Service whether his attention has been called to the case of Evan Jones, of Penybont, Pencae, Breconshire, who is one of five brothers, none of whom are in the Army; whether he is aware that this man is a Class A man and has been told by the local and Appeal Tribunals that he has to serve in the Army, but that he has been engaged by the Penwyllt Brickworks and has obtained exemption through the action of the manager; and will he state why this has been given, and make inquiries?

Mr. BECK

I was not aware of the facts of the case to which my hon. Friend refers, but I am making inquiries, and will inform him of the result as soon as possible.

55. Sir ALPHEUS MORTON

asked the Minister of National Service whether, and, if so, will he say why, John Taylor Black, of Kildonan, Sutherland, had his calling-up notice in the first instance cancelled; and if he is aware that after ten weeks' service this man was discharged and granted a temporary pension?

Mr. BECK

Inquiries are being made, and I will inform my hon. Friend of the result.
