§ 78. Mr. TREVELYANasked the Minister of National Service whether steps will be taken to carry out his promise that proprietors of one-man businesses who, on entering the Army, are reduced to Grade 3 shall be returned to civil life?
§ The MINISTER of NATIONAL SERVICE (Sir A. Geddes)I am afraid that I do not understand precisely the point which the hon. Member wishes to raise. All men are medically graded by National Service medical boards before being posted for service. The arrangements as to Grade 3 one-man business proprietors are set out in the Local Government Board Circular R 167. I have no knowledge of having given any promise to the effect stated, and would be glad if the hon. Member would give me further information.
