§ Mr. JOHN DAVISONasked the Secretary of State for War whether men who attested under the Derby scheme will be regarded as having a prior claim to release over those men of the same age who were called up under the Military Service Acts; and whether he will say how soon he hopes to be able to make his promised statement?
Captain GUESTI would refer my hon. Friend to the Memorandum published on 17th July, which explains how we hope to release men who enlisted under the Derby scheme.
