HC Deb 06 March 1919 vol 113 c636W
Mr. CAIRNS

asked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware of a family having three sons soldiers, two having been killed; and, if so, if he will release the third one, who is the only support for the family?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Under the existing Regulations, releases may be granted on extreme compassionate grounds. In a case such as that to which the hon. Member refers, if an application is made on compassionate grounds it will receive careful consideration.
