HC Deb 06 February 1940 vol 357 c14
27. Mr. Garro Jones

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that in some cases as, for example, that of David Booth, 547, Anderson Drive North, Aberdeen, formerly 2869065, 174th Medium Battery, Royal Artillery, soldiers have been discharged as belonging to certain reserved classes only to enter upon a period of unemployment; and whether measures of improved ad ministration can be instituted?

Sir V. Warrender

Under present arrangements, such men can re-enlist if they so desire, and men in this category will not now be discharged unless employment is available for them.
