HC Deb 29 November 1916 vol 88 c357W
Mr. R. LAMBERT

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether his attention has been drawn to the case of Mr. Harry C. Jones, aged forty-one, managing owner of the firm of J. W. Johnstone and Company, wholesale importers and distributors of foodstuffs, of Colonial House, Tooley Street, S.E., employing no man of military age, who was given exemption from military service until 31st December by the Croydon local tribunal; and whether he is entitled to complete exemption on the ground that his occupation is included in the list of certified trades?

Mr. LONG

I have no information on this case, and the hon. Member will see that it is quite impossible for me to say whether the man he refers to is or is not entitled to complete exemption.
