HC Deb 02 November 1916 vol 86 c1850W
Mr. RAMSAY MACDONALD

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the War Office has instructed recruiting officers to refuse to recognise birth certificates issued by registrars for the purposes of the National Insurance Act; whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that some officers are declining to recognise these certificates; and whether he will take steps to instruct officers to accept them when they are presented?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I am .looking into this point.
