HC Deb 15 July 1918 vol 108 cc721-2W
Major H. TERRELL

asked the Undersecretary of State for War whether an officer in a Volunteer battalion who had retired on being appointed to a civilian office at an Army Ordnance Depot is now liable to be called up as a private, or is, on being called up, entitled to a commission or to admission in an Officers' Training Corps?

Mr. MACPHERSON

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to my replies on the 1st and 8th May last to questions on this subject by my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Devonport. If a Volunteer officer or an ex-Volunteer officer who held his commission before the passing of the recent Military Service Act is called up for military service he will be accepted for training in an Officers' Training Corps for a commission in the Army.
