HC Deb 01 March 1916 vol 80 c1064W
Sir J. LONSDALE

asked the President of the Local Government Board if Irish migratory labourers who come to Great Britain periodically to assist in agricultural operations will come under the compulsory provisions of the Military Service Act, 1916?

Mr. LONG

These persons would not, in my opinion, be ordinarily resident in Great Britain, and would not, therefore, be within Section 1 (4) of the Military Service Act.
