§ 8. Mr. Geoffrey Cooperasked the Secretary of State for War if the war-time Army selection procedure is being used with a view to National Servicemen being allotted to duties most fitted to their civilian training and personal ability.
§ Mr. StracheyThe basic war-time Army selection procedure is still in partial operation, although some modifications have been made to suit peace-time conditions.
§ Mr. CooperDoes my right hon. Friend consider it important that, so far as possible, these young men should continue in their civilian trades when called up for National Service, so that they do not lose their craft training, and if I can give him specific examples of this not happening, will he have a look at them?
§ Mr. StracheyCertainly.
