HC Deb 18 July 1939 vol 350 c169
9. Mr. Young

asked the Secretary of State for War, what arrangements have been made to cover the case of those men under and of militia age who were discharged from the Territorial Army on the conversion of their units to other branches of the service, to which their own capabilities were not suited; and whether he proposes that such men should be exempted from militia service?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

Under the Military Training Act such men are exempt from militia service only if they had completed four years' service in any of His Majesty's Reserve and Auxiliary Forces, or were service on 26th May last.
