37. Mr. CHANCELLORasked whether special consideration will be given to the cases of men engaged in important public work as members of county or borough councils, or boards of guardians, education committees, etc., who are under fifty-one years of age; and what instructions will be issued to tribunals in regard to such men?
Mr. WALSHMy right hon. Friend does not contemplate issuing any instructions to tribunals on this subject. Many members of local authorities are, he is aware, doing valuable work, but it does not seem to him that ordinarily a member of a local authority could claim exemption because of his membership.
