HC Deb 01 November 1949 vol 469 cc186-7
23. Mr. Chetwynd

asked the Minister of Labour what changes will the decision to reduce the strength of the armed Forces by more than 20,000 at 1st April, 1950, entail in respect of the age of call-up and the registration of age groups.

Mr. Isaacs

None, Sir.

Mr. Chetwynd

Can my right hon. Friend say how this decrease will be obtained? Will it be obtained by a more speedy release of those already in the Forces?

Mr. Isaacs

No, Sir. I am asked what changes will be made in the calling-up procedure. There will be no change. There is not likely to be any change in the age groups for a considerable time.
