§ 27. Brigadier-General Clifton Brownasked the Secretary of State for War whether he can make any statement on the position of Members of Parliament under King's Regulations, paragraph 530, who are called up for service under the Reserve and Auxiliary Forces Act, 1939?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaHon. Members who are called up for service under the Reserve and Auxiliary Forces Act will be given leave to attend to their Parliamentary duties both in the House and in their constituencies. The case of a by-election or of a General Election could be dealt with, if it arose, by release from service.
