§ 20. Mr. MANDERasked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the fact that a great impetus will be given to recruiting if it were made clear that the services of recruits are required solely for support of the collective system of the League of Nations and would not be used for any other purpose, he will consider issuing an appeal on these lines?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Mr. Duff Cooper)I am not satisfied that an appeal on the lines suggested by the hon. Member would have the effect which he foresees.
§ Mr. LENNOX-BOYDWould not a greater impetus be given to recruiting if we limited and clarified our international obligations?
§ Mr. MANDERWill the right hon. Gentleman bear in mind that he is not likely to get his recruits on any other basis?
§ Mr. MACQUISTENWill my right hon. Friend take steps to secure that nobody is allowed to fight without a signed permit from the hon. Member for East Wolverhampton (Mr. Mander)?
