§ Mr. J. MASONasked the Minister of National Service whether men who held certificates of exemption, with no condition as to joining the Volunteers, granted by a tribunal prior to the passing of the last Military Service Act, and whose certificates have since been renewed by the tribunal with no mention of Volunteer service, are required under the new Regulations to join the Volunteers?
§ Mr. BECKI think that the hon. Member's question is really one that involves the construction of Sub-section (6) of Section 4 of the Military Service (No. 2) Act, 1918; but I understand that unless the tribunal otherwise directs, such a man is liable, on being so required in such manner as may be prescribed by Order in Council, to join the Volunteer Force.
