HC Deb 05 October 1939 vol 351 c2102W
Mr. J. Morgan

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will re-state the age limits and conditions for exemption from military service of agricultural tractor drivers, as autumn land cultivations are being seriously upset by the continued recruitment of such men?

Mr. E. Brown

I am not aware that recruitment of agricultural tractor drivers has been on the scale suggested. The age of reservation of these workers in the Schedule of Reserved Occupations is 21 years, but the details of the Schedule are open to revision from time to time.
