§ 41. Mr. Butcherasked the Secretary of State for War whether he has considered the hardship caused in the case of call-up of Class Z reservists who are engaged on work as producers, directors or production managers in connection with theatrical and cinematograph entertainments which have to operate to precise or contract dates; and whether in such circumstances those concerned can be given the option of taking their training at a convenient time.
§ Mr. StracheyI cannot give a general undertaking of this nature, but I can assure the hon. Member that all aspects of appeals are given the fullest consideration before a decision is reached. I have explained the difficulties involved in changing the date of training in my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Sheffield, Park (Mr. Mulley) on 17th April, 1951.
