§ 78. Mr. P. A. HARRISasked whether the undertaking that men over forty-three should not be required to go through the severe course of training required from younger men, but should be allowed to go through a modified course of drill and physical training, is being generally adhered to; and, if so, why a number of English recruits over forty-three have been sent to a training camp in county Galway, Ireland, and are required to go through the ordinary course along with young men, though some of these older men are graded B2?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONThe answer to the first part of my hon. Friend's question is in the affirmative. I am not aware of the conditions suggested at the camp referred to in the last part of the question, but, if fuller particulars are furnished, I shall be happy to cause inquiry to be made, if necessary.
