HC Deb 23 February 1916 vol 80 c704W
Captain CHARLES BATHURST

asked the President of the Local Government Board if, in the opinion of the Government, Irish agricultural labourers working on English farms, although of military age, will be exempt from military service under the Military Service Act, 1916; and whether English farmers can with certainty offer them seasonable or other employment on this understanding?

Mr. LONG

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answer I gave to his rather similar question on the 26th January last.
