§ 13. Mr. Hannahasked the Minister of Labour under what authority an officer, discharged from the Army for his own fault, is called up for military service?
§ Mr. BevinThe authority for calling up for further military service a person who has been discharged from the Armed Forces of the Crown is Section 4 of the National Service (No. 2) Act, 1941. The term "discharge" in this connection is defined as including cashiering, dismissal, removal, retirement and resignation.
§ Mr. HannahCan we have an assurance that officers or other ranks discharged from the Army for their own fault will not therefore escape their obligations for military service?
§ Major PetherickIs my right hon. Friend aware that only about one word out of three of his replies can be heard by some of us who have by no means faulty hearing, and will he model himself in his answers on the hon. Member for Bilston (Mr. Hannah)?
