HC Deb 19 March 1917 vol 91 c1568W
Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTT

asked the Under - Secretary of State for War whether, in defiance of the instructions of the War Office, that, in view of a case being taken to the High Court, legal proceedings to enforce liability to military service are not to be taken against attested men who have been medically rejected, legal proceedings have nevertheless been taken against Mr. Bert Freedman by the military authorities at Swansea; and whether the release of Mr. Freedman, pending the decision of the High Court, will be ordered?

Mr. MACPHERSON

Inquiries are being made, and my hon. Friend will be informed of the result.
