HC Deb 25 July 1918 vol 108 c2022W
Mr. PENNEFATHER

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether a soldier on home service who is a coal miner and fifty-three years old, and of medical category B1, can be transferred to the Reserve, provided a colliery firm notify on Part C of Army Form W 3980 that they are desirous of employing this soldier?

Mr. MACPHERSON

Soldiers in medical category B1 are not eligible, under present arrangements, for transfer to the Reserve for employment in collieries.
