Clarke, of Worple House, Epsom, was taken as an absentee under the Military Service Act, 1916, to Kingston on 3rd May; whether he is now in any regiment; if so, in what unit; where he is at present; and whether he has been put under arrest or punishment?
§ Mr. TENNANTAs I have already stated in reply to my hon. Friend, I cannot undertake to make inquiries as to whether individual soldiers have or have not been guilty of infractions of discipline, nor as to where they are at any particular moment.
