HC Deb 22 May 1916 vol 82 c1822W
Mr. RADFORD

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether a British-born British subject who afterwards became naturalised in the Union of South Africa, and there enlisted and served under General Botha in the recent campaign against German South-West Africa, and was discharged at the close of the campaign from the South African Army subject to the condition that he should serve again in South Africa if called upon to do so, and is now on a visit to England, comes under the provisions of the Military Service Act, 1916, or the Military Service Bill?

Mr. TENNANT

He is not ordinarily resident in this country and is consequently not liable under the Military Service Act.
