§ Mr. PROTHEROasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether men medically rejected since 14th August, 1915, are exempt from the operation of the Military Service Act; and whether the production of a medical certificate of rejection is sufficient to secure them exemption?
§ Mr. TENNANTYes, Sir, the production of a certificate issued to a man by a doctor employed by the military authorities, showing that the man has been rejected, is sufficient to relieve the man from liability to military service under the Act, provided the authorities are satisfied that the certificate was really issued to the man in question, and was issued to him since the 14th August, 1915.
