§ Mr. GLANVILLEasked the Under-Secretary of State for War if Mr. Harry, who is acting as military representative of the recruiting officer at Lewisham, is under forty-one years af age; is he in the Army; and, if not, has he attested under Lord Derby's scheme?
§ Mr. TENNANTI think it is improbable that a gentleman would be chosen as military representative who is fit for service and not in the Army unless there were very good reasons for his not undertaking military service.
§ Mr. GLANVILLEasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he will issue instructions to recruiting authorities to the effect that when a recruit has been passed by the medical officer as fit only for Home service, in the field, or in garrison, such information shall be furnished to the local tribunal, in the event of a claim for exemption being made, with a view to allowing the tribunal to consider the economic effect of the calling up of such individuals?
§ Mr. TENNANTI think that the applicant for exemption can be trusted to put forward on his own behalf the fact that he has been passed as fit for Home service only. The recruiting authorities have so much work to do that any addition, unless really necessary, must be avoided.
