HC Deb 23 February 1916 vol 80 c703W
Mr. ROWNTREE

asked the Prime Minister whether he can yet state what steps the Government propose to take to give effect to his view (expressed in the House on 10th January) that the case of men who have attested under Lord Derby's scheme but who have conscientious objections to the undertaking of combatant service should be met?

The PRIME MINISTER

Such persons should apply to the War Office, who will deal with each case on its merits.
