HC Deb 01 May 1939 vol 346 c1500
46. Mr. Boothby

asked the Prime Minister whether His Majesty's Government will now establish a compulsory National Service Register?

The Prime Minister

No, Sir. I am satisfied that the reasons against a compulsory National Service Register which were fully explained by my right hon. Friend the Lord Privy Seal on 6th December last have lost none of their force.
