HC Deb 08 April 1919 vol 114 c1830
25. Mr. HOPKINS

asked why Private F. J. Briggs, No. 36793, 9th Field Ambulance, Guards Division, is still retained in the Army, considering that this man joined in September, 1914, and that he is not employed in demobilisation work?

Mr. CHURCHILL

If the date of Private Briggs's enlistment is as stated, he would appear to be eligble for demobilisation, unless he is serving under pre-war conditions, and has not completed his term of Colour service. If he is eligible he will be released in due course.
