HC Deb 03 March 1925 vol 181 c225
34. Colonel DAY

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the military authorities are approaching boards of guardians with a view to securing lads between 14 and 15 years of age for military service; whether he will state the conditions of service these lads are called upon to perform; and under what regulation the officers of his Department have power to recruit lads of these ages?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given on the 8th July last to a similar question addressed to my predecessor by the hon. Member for the Blaydon Division of Durham.
