HC Deb 24 June 1918 vol 107 c733W
Mr. GLANVILLE

asked the Undersecretary of State for War under the provisions of what Act has he the power to retain in Army Reserve W[...] a man of over military age?

Mr. MACPHERSON

All enlistments under the Military Service Acts are for the period of the War, and a man may be held to serve under such enlistment for the period of the War notwithstanding that he has subsequently become over the military age and has been transferred to Class W of the Reserve.

Mr. GLANVILLE

asked the Undersecretary of State for War whether a man in Army Reserve W is entitled to the usual pay and allowances of his rank during such time as he is unable through ill-health to follow the employment in which he is retained?

Mr. FORSTER

If a man in Class W of the Reserve falls ill and wishes to be recalled to the Colours, he can report his case to the local war pensions committee, when he will be recalled and brought on to Army pay.
