HC Deb 22 December 1915 vol 77 cc489-90W
Sir JOHN RANDLES

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War if he is aware that certain members of the Jewish faith, The sons of Russian or Roumanian Jews, some of them born in this country, on presenting themselves for attestation under Lord Derby's scheme had been informed they were not eligible; and will he make it clear that their parentage is not a valid reason for their rejection?

Mr. TENNANT

I am sending the hon. Gentleman a Paper which will explain the position in this matter.
