§ 57. Mr. Jannerasked the Secretary of State for War how many boy soldiers of 16 years of age. and how many others under the age of 18, are serving in or with the Leicestershire Regiment in Cyprus.
§ Mr. JannerDoes the hon. Member think that it is about time he took these lads away from Cyprus —[HON. MEMBERS: "No."]—particularly in view of the prevailing conditions? Does he not think that youngsters of this age ought not to be in an atmosphere of that description, and will he do something to allay the anxieties of the parents of these boys?
§ Mr. MacleanI have nothing to add to the very full statements which have been made upon this subject by both my right hon. Friend and myself.
