HC Deb 10 May 1916 vol 82 cc679-80W
Mr. GILBERT

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether he will state the position under the new Military Service Bill now before the House of a youth of eighteen (nineteen next birthday) attested under the Derby scheme; and will he be called up at once under the new Bill or will he have to wait until his group is called up under the Derby scheme?

Mr. LONG

The Bill does not apply to attested men.
