HC Deb 23 February 1916 vol 80 cc704-5W
Mr. GLANVILLE

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether a recruit under the Derby scheme who has a reserved occupation will be allowed the opportunity of appealing on other grounds in the event of the removal of his trade from the list of reserved trades, as suggested in the new instructions, taking place after the ten days' period from the calling up of his group, or will it be necessary for him to appeal on other grounds whilst he is still exempt under that head?

Mr. LONG

In such a case as that mentioned by my hon. Friend an application made on good grounds may be entertained by a local tribunal, provided that it is made immediately after the previous exemption ceases to be in force.
