HC Deb 01 March 1917 vol 90 cc2164-5W
Sir T. ESMONDE

asked what is the meaning and effect of a certified exemp- tion from military service described in the form as an absolute exemption?

Mr. MACPHERSON

A certificate of absolute exemption relieves the holder from liability to any form of military service so long as it remains operative. Such a certificate is not subject to any condition or to any limit of time. Like all other certificates of exemption, it may be varied or withdrawn in accordance with the Regulations and Instructions governing procedure of tribunals.
