§ 5. Mr. Mathersasked the Minister of Labour what opportunity for appeal against calling up will be afforded to a man previously called up and medically examined but subsequently found to be in a reserved category in respect of which the age has been raised, thus removing his reservation?
§ Mr. BevinA man who loses his reservation owing to a change in the Schedule of Reserved Occupations may then be permitted to apply for postponement on the ground of exceptional hardship although the normal time for applying, that is not later than two days after medical examination, has expired.
§ Mr. MathersI am much obliged to the Minister for the Answer, but would it not be better to regularise the position and safeguard the Army authorities from taking in a man who might be medically unfit by providing for a new medical examination? In this particular case it is a number of months since this man has been medically examined?
