HC Deb 10 February 1944 vol 396 c1874
3. Mr. Bull

asked the Minister of Labour if he will consider, on grounds of health and hardship, having cases for exemption from military service reviewed by committees more localised as, if this procedure were adopted, results would be more satisfactory and there would be fewer cases of attempted evasion of war service.

Mr. Bevin

Medical boards and Military Service (Hardship) Committees are already widely localised, and I do not understand in what way the establishment of additional machinery of this sort would prevent attempted evasion of war service. Perhaps my hon. Friend could let me know more precisely what he has in mind.
