Mr. E. HARVEYasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether a soldier who was discharged before the War after completion of twelve years' service and who voluntarily re-enlisted, after having attained the age of forty-two years, for one year's service, can be retained with the colours after the expiration of the period for which he re-enlisted; and, if so, by what statutory authority?
§ Mr. MACPHERSON:If the hon. Member will give me the name, number, rank and regiment of the man he has in mind, I will have the matter investigated. I may point out that there were no enlistments 625W for one year's service. There were, however, certain enlistments for one year or the duration of the War.
