HC Deb 07 March 1916 vol 80 c1379W
Mr. KING

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he will indicate the statutory authority by which it is declared within the discretion of the Government to extend the age limit of enlistment for military service; and whether such authority applies to enlistment both for the Territorial and other military forces?

Mr. TENNANT

The age limit is fixed by Regulations made under Section 93 of the Army Act and Section 7 of the Territorial and Reserve Forces Act, for Regular and Territorial soldiers respectively.
