HC Deb 27 March 1917 vol 92 c217W
Mr. KEATING

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that the Rev. Brother Edward Aloysius, St. Benedict's College, Kotahena, Colombo, Ceylon, has been served with notice to join the Army under the Military Service Acts; that his ordinary residence is in Ireland; and that he is only a temporary resident in Ceylon as a teacher for the order of De La Salle Christian Brothers; and will he take steps to instruct the military authorities in Ceylon that this gentleman is not liable to military service owing to the fact that his permanent residence is at the headquarters of the order of De La Salle Brothers, Castletown, Queen's County, Ireland?

Mr. LONG

I have no information, but I will inquire.
