Lieut.-Commander Hutchisonasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will consider the early release of men who were compulsorily transferred from the R.N. to the Army and whose original age and service group in the R.N. has already been released.
§ Mr. BellengerNo, Sir. I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply which I gave on 10th December to the hon. Member for Cheltenham (Mr. Lipson). Since that reply was given I have again considered the matter but I still feel unable to depart from the existing policy.
