HC Deb 02 July 1942 vol 381 c481
10. Major Lyons

asked the Minister of Labour whether he proposes to take steps to impose an age limit where none yet exists to qualify for tribunal deferment from any form of war service?

Mr. Bevin

I have under consideration the question of raising in a number of occupations the age limit below which deferment may not be granted and of imposing such an age limit in a number of other occupations.

Major Lyons

Could the Minister say when he expects to come to a decision on this matter?

Mr. Bevin

I am coming to decisions every day.

Major Lyons

On this matter, I asked?

Mr. Bevin

Yes, on these trades.
