§ Mr. NEEDHAMasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that under the Military Service (Review of Exceptions) frequent cases occur where registration cards are taken away as well as previous rejection certificates, and that the men are told that classification cards will be sent on to them later; and whether he will arrange for classification cards to be delivered to men immediately on the conclusion of the medical examination?
§ Mr. FORSTERInquiries have been made and it appears that there have been in the past some instances where classification certificates could not be given to men immediately on the conclusion of the medical examination owing to the supplies locally available having been exhausted owing to various causes. There are ample forms now available to render the recurrence of any such incident improbable. I am not aware of any instances of registration cards being taken away from men who are not called up and posted.
