HC Deb 07 May 1919 vol 115 c933W
Mr. HURD

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he can now state the result of his consideration of the means by which men who attested under the Derby scheme, but for one reason or another were not called up till after 1st January, 1916, would be included in the scheme of demobilisation?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I regret that at the present time men who attested under the Derby scheme, but were not called up till 1st January, 1916, cannot be demobilised unless—

  1. (i) They are eligible under current instructions; or
  2. (ii) On extreme compassionate grounds as defined in the Instructions recently issued on this subject.
