§ 11. Sir Robert Youngasked the Minister of Labour whether men who have served several years in the Merchant Navy and have been discharged as surplus to requirements and accepted for examination by a selection committee for training under the ex-Servicemen's training scheme, are liable to recall for military service; and, if so, what is the age and amount of service which obviate such a recall to the Armed Forces of the country.
§ The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour (Mr. Ness Edwards)In present circumstances these men are not being called up for service in the Armed Forces.
§ Sir R. YoungIf I send my hon. Friend particulars of a man who was called up, will he inquire into the matter very sympathetically?
