HC Deb 02 June 1913 vol 53 c612W
Sir W. BYLES

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the War Office is kept informed of the resistance shown by the population of New Zealand to the Compulsory Service Law; whether he is aware that out of the population of the Dominion boys are being prosecuted at the rate of 200 a week for breaches of the Conscription Law; and whether, having regard to the movement for a similar law in this country, some official figures and suitable statement of the working of the law in our Dominions can be issued to the House?

Colonel SEELY

No reports on this matter have been forwarded to the War Office.
