HC Deb 12 April 1927 vol 205 c175
19. Mr. ROBINSON

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will issue instructions that lads under 18 years of age are not to be accepted as recruits for the Army and that all recruits must submit a birth certificate showing age?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

I would refer the hon. Member to the statement which I made on this subject during the Committee stage of the Army and Air Force (Annual) Bill.
