§ 52. Mr. Marloweasked the Minister of Labour why, in view of the fact that deferment of call-up for National Service is-granted to internal students of universities and technical colleges preparing for honours degrees, such deferment is refused to external students preparing for the same degrees.
§ Mr. IsaacsStudents studying for external degrees can be granted deferment equally with internal students, provided they are in attendance at a recognised educational institution and, in the case of technical colleges, are pursuing a course of study approved by the Ministry of Education.
