§ Mr. J. DAVISONasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will state the policy of his Department regarding the men who have been demobilised but, having been merely transferred to the Reserve, are still subject to military service; and whether it is proposed to release these men entirely from military service at an early date?
Captain GUESTMen on being demobilised and placed in Army Reserve Class Z will not be recalled to the Colours except in the case of military emergency prior to the termination of the War. They are not subject to military discipline, and the only immediate obligation they are under is to notify changes of address to their record office. These Reservists are entitled to be discharged with all convenient speed after the ratification of Peace.
