HC Deb 26 February 1924 vol 170 c276W
Mr. TURNER

asked the President of the Board of Education if the Circular issued by the War Office last year and sent to clerks to local education authorities outlining a scheme for the enlistment into the Regular Army of boys of 14 and 15 years of age for a period of 15 years is receiving his support; and, if not, will he take steps to withdraw the same?

Mr. TREVELYAN

I presume that my hon. Friend refers to a Circular Letter issued by the Army Council last August, notifying the arrangements for examination of boys desirous of enlisting into the Regular Army for training as tradesmen. The matter is not in my province.
