HC Deb 29 May 1916 vol 82 cc2402-3W
Mr. WILES

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War what is the position of men under the Military Service Bill who are in the Mechanical Transport, Army Service Corps, Category C, and received £4 per annum from the War Office before the War, but followed their occupations as cab or omnibus drivers; and whether they will have to continue when their thirteen months have expired?

Mr. TENNANT

Under the Military Service Act any such man, if serving with the Colours, will be required to continue serving till the end of the War; and if he has. already been discharged he will come under the provisions of the Act like any other discharged soldier if below the age of forty-one?
