Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTTasked the President of the Local Government Board whether he is aware that a young man who is the youngest of five brothers, and all whose brothers were enlisted voluntarily at the commencement of the War, attested and applied for exemption on the ground of serious hardship owing to exceptional family position, and was only granted temporary exemption until 17th May; and whether in the view of the Central Tribunal longer or total exemption ought to be granted in such cases?
§ Mr. LONGI am not aware of the case to which reference is made. The Central Tribunal are authorised to give decisions only in cases of appeal from Appeal Tribunals. Each case has to be judged on its merits.
