HC Deb 13 February 1919 vol 112 cc306-7W
Colonel YATE

asked the Minister of National Service whether, in counting service for demobilisation, the date of attestation is counted as the date of enlistment?

Colonel MALONE

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the proposal that the army of occupation should be composed of those who had not enlisted before 1st January, 1916, makes any exception in respect of those men who when they applied to join before that date were rejected on medical grounds but subsequently enlisted?

Major E. WOOD

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, under the scheme of demobilisation, it is proposed to retain with the Colours men who joined the forces subsequent to 1st January, 1916, but who volunteered and were rejected, or for other reasons were not permitted to enlist, at an earlier date?

Mr. CHURCHILL

To determine whether a warrant officer, N.C.O., or man is eligible for demobilisation under Army Order 55 of 1919, the date taken into account is the date he joined the Colours for immediate or continuous service.
