HC Deb 29 June 1939 vol 349 c593
2. Sir Frank Sanderson

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that there are a number of unemployed men between the ages of 20 and 21 years who are anxious to join the Militia immediately; and whether he will instruct the Employment Exchanges to accept all unemployed men between the ages of 20 and 21 years for service immediately irrespective of their alphabetical rotation?

The Minister of Labour (Mr. Ernest Brown)

Yes, Sir; arrangements have already been made for this to be done in the case of unemployed men who ask to be called up early.
