HC Deb 17 November 1919 vol 121 c640W
Mr. R. M'NEILL

asked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that Private Alfred Frederick Arnold, who enlisted in the Buffs on the 7th April, 1919, is a boy of seventeen years and five months, and that he enlisted without the consent and against the wishes of his guardian; and if, under these circumstances, instructions will be given for the immediate discharge of Arnold from the Army?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I am not aware of the circumstances of this case, but inquiries are being made, and my hon. Friend will be informed of the result as soon as possible.
