28. Mr. MACLEANasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether it is compulsory for soldiers whose names are placed upon the detail board to appear for physical training; whether this forms part of their Army duties; if not, what steps, if any, are taken against 653 a soldier who objects to taking part in any of these exercises; and whether any information is given him as to the proper manner in which he can lodge any such objection?
§ Mr. COOPERThe answer to the first two parts of the question is in the affirmative. The remainder, therefore, does not arise.
