§ 41. Mr. Ammonasked the Home Secretary why members of the regular police force are being called to the Armed Services and younger men of the war reserve police retained?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonMy hon. Friend appears to be under a misapprehension. The police war reservists who have been retained are those who were over 30 on 1st May, 1942; whereas the call up of regular police under the National Service 294 Acts applies to men under 25 at the date of registration, that is, to men born after 9th March, 1915.
