§ 6. Mr. Chetwyndasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will review the age limits for the Z Reserve.
§ Mr. HeadI explained the present postion in my reply to a Question on this subject on 25th March this year. I cannot at the present time add to that statement.
§ Mr. ChetwyndIn view of the fact that it is now considered that we have adequate reserves and that Z reservists are not to be called up next year, is it not time that people over 40 should be relieved of their liability to the Z Reserve so that they may volunteer for some other form of service?
§ Mr. HeadThe whole question of the future obligations, both of Z reservists and of men now doing part-time service, is under review, and I hope to be able to make a statement or some announcement to the House, although I could not give a date at the present moment.
