HC Deb 26 June 1939 vol 349 c35
68. Sir Percy Harris (for Mr. Graham White)

asked the Secretary of State for War whether any decision has been reached with regard to the age at which university students shall begin their period of military training?

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour (Mr. Lennox-Boyd)

I have been asked to reply. I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given on 22nd June to the hon. Member for Tarn worth (Sir J. Mellor).

Mr. Thurtle

Will the hon. Gentleman see that there are no distinctions made in favour of university students that will tend to accentuate the feeling that class distinction is made in this matter?

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

That is certainly our intention.
