HC Deb 26 July 1939 vol 350 c1444
33. Sir Robert Young

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether he can give an assurance that craftsmen employed in the dockyards who are called up under the Military Training Act for training in the Royal Naval Special Reserve will not be called upon to undertake at the rate of is. 6d. per days duties similar to those of their civil occupation?

Mr. Shakespeare

The answer to the hon. Member's question is in the affirmative.

Sir R, Young

Does that reply mean that these men will not be employed in the dockyards during their period of service?

Mr. Shakespeare

That is so.
