HC Deb 29 March 1955 vol 539 cc18-9W
Mr. Bellenger

asked the Minister of Labour why he has authorised the indefinite deferment for National Service of a selected number of police cadets, thereby introducing a form of selective service under the National Service Acts.

Mr. Watkinson

I have nothing to add to the reply I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Wycombe (Mr. John Hall) on 22nd March, when I made it plain that this is not a form of selective service.
