Summary of case: Conditional certificate originally issued as Herbert's occupation was considered to be expedient in the national interest. This was revoked by local tribunal on 24 Aug 1916 after application by military representation. Temporary exemption granted to 4 Nov 1916 without the right of appeal. His father has appealed, stating no evidence had been presented by the military representative to support revoking the certificate and asks for the original certificate of exemption to be re-instated. The North Riding Appeal Tribunal does not consider Herbert's occupation to be 'expedient in the national interest.'
