HC Deb 10 June 1920 vol 130 c626W
Mr. E. KELLY

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that Private J. M'Dermott, No. 32,947, 2nd battalion Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, gave a wrong age on enlisting; that his father has applied for his release and has submitted the birth certificate, proving that this soldier was under 18 years at the time of enlistment and is still under that age; and will he order the release of M'Dermott?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I am not aware of this case, but inquiries are being made, and I will let the hon. Member know the result as soon as possible.
