HC Deb 27 June 1918 vol 107 c1212
79. Mr. STEWART

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether he has any information showing that tribunals have improperly protected men because their fathers are friends of members of those tribunals and are improperly exempting them; and, if so, whether he proposes to hold any inquiry with a view to the dissolution and reconstitution of such tribunals under the powers contained in the Military Service (No. 2) Act, 1918?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. Stephen Walsh)

My right hon. Friend is not in possession of any such information.

Mr. STEWART

Has the hon. Gentleman read the speech of the Director of National Service?

Mr. WALSH

Yes; I have read that speech, but it has nothing to do with this answer.
