§ Mr. SNOWDENasked the Under-Secretarly of State for War if instructions have been given to recruiting officers to inform youths who present themselves for enlistment in the Army that all youths of eighteen all over the country will be compelled to sign for seven years and not less; and, if such instructions have not been given, will he inquire why the recruiting officer at Hove, Brighton, so informed a youth named Tebbutt who presented himself at the recruiting offices of the Royal Field Artillery there on 18th May?
§ Mr. TENNANTI would refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave on this point to the hon. Member for Derby on the 25th May.
