§ 45. Mr. Thorneasked the Prime Minister whether he will issue a White Paper upon the question of compulsory military service operating in all the European countries giving the age of enrolment, the length of service in the first line of defence; and the years of service in the reserves?
§ The Prime MinisterThe information asked for by the hon. Member can be obtained in the League of Nations Armaments Year Book(1938).In these circumstances I do not think that the labour involved in the preparation of a White Paper would be justified.
§ Mr. ThorneMay I ask where we can find that document?
§ The Prime MinisterIn the Library.
