HC Deb 07 March 1916 vol 80 cc1378-9W
Mr. STUART-WORTLEY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been directed to the case of an English gentleman of military age, a single man, Mr. B. Hollander, who was released from internment in Carlsbad by the Austrian military authorities on 24th August, 1914, on giving his parole that he would not bear arms against the Central Powers; whether, if he applies to the War Office, the War Office will give him a certificate of exemption under the Military Service Act, 1916; and, if not, what steps this gentleman should take to avoid breaking his promise to the enemy authorities?

Mr. TENNANT

If Mr. Hollander will apply to the War Office, stating his place of registration under the National Registration Act, arrangements will be made to exempt him from being called up under the Military Service Act.
