30. Major HUNT

asked the Minister of National Service whether a time-expired man recalled to the Colours under the new Military Service Act will be entitled to be restored to his former rank?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Mr. Macpherson)

Yes, Sir. Any man discharged on the termination of his engagement will, if recalled to the Colours, be restored to his former rank.

31. Major HUNT

asked the Minister of National Service if an officer or non commissioned officer recalled for service under the new Military Service Act who has previously left or been discharged from the Service will, whether still partially disabled or not, be entitled to be restored to his former rank, as provided by Section 2 of the Review of Exceptions Act now repealed?

Mr. MACPHERSON

The conditions under which former rank can be restored are under consideration.
