§ 14. Mr. RENDALLasked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that men over forty-one have not all been discharged; that Private F. A. Phillips, No. 407786, Royal Army Service Corps, attached to the 58th Field Ambulance, British Expeditionary Force, of Kings-wood, Bristol, over forty-two years of age, is still detained; that younger men have left this ambulance; and is there any reason why this man should not be restored to his wife, family, and work?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLPrivate Phillips is not registered either as pivotal or for special release, nor is there trace of any application on his behalf having been received by the War Office. If this soldier's age is as stated by my hon. Friend, he would appear to be eligible for demobilisation, and, if so, he will be released as soon as circumstances permit.
