asked the Minister of Labour when he proposes to lay the regulations and Orders in Council made under the Military Training Act; and as from what date such regulations and orders will be operative?

Certain Regulations were laid on 26th May and operate from that date. Other Regulations and a draft Order in Council are in active preparation and will be laid as soon as possible.

The hon. Gentleman has not stated the date from which the Order in Council, for example, which deals with civil liabilities, will operate.

It will operate from the date on which it is made.
