HC Deb 09 December 1952 vol 509 c235
35. Mr. McGhee

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will state the arrangements to enable National Service men to train and study while in the Service for their return to civilian life.

Mr. Head

I am sending the hon. Member a copy of a recent pamphlet "Education during National Service" which is available at sale offices of Her Majesty's Stationery Office throughout the country. He will see that the Army gives to a National Service man below School Certificate standard a compulsory general education during his first year of service to give a sound background for further study. National Service men above this level are each given a form to fill up regarding voluntary education to meet individual needs.

Forward to
