§ 56. Sir HENRY CRAIKasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it would be possible to give a list of the names of all men of military age in the superior grades of the Civil Government 969 Departments and in non-combatant employment in the Admiralty and War Office?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI do not think that such a Return is necessary. The Director of National Service is continuing the policy of the Man-Power Board, and is taking steps to secure that all men of military age employed in Government Departments who can possibly be spared should be made available for military service.
§ Sir H. CRAIKWould it not be possible to give some authority outside the walls of these special offices power of reviewing decisions?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThe power is in the hands of the Director of National Service.
§ Mr. PRINGLEWill the right hon. Gentleman indicate whether these men in Government Departments are subject to re-examination like engineering draughts-men and people doing Government work?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWEvery Department has been subjected to the most thorough examination with a view to getting every possible man.
