Mr. P. A. HARRIS
asked the Minister of National Service what is the age limit for military service in France, Belgium, Italy, and America, respectively?
Mr. MACPHERSON
As regards France, Italy, and America, I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave yesterday to the hon. Member for Hanley. All Belgians born after 30th June, 1876, and before 1st January, 1899, are liable for service during the War. Volunteers possessing the necessary qualifications are allowed to enlist for the duration of the War between the ages of sixteen and forty-five.
