§ Mr. SNOWDENasked the Minister of National Service, in view of his statement that Grade 3 men of the new military age are not being called up, why calling-up notices have been sent to the men whose names have been privately furnished to him by the hon. Member for Blackburn?
§ Sir A. GEDDESInquiries have been made into the two cases submitted by the hon. Member. I am informed that one of the men, who is of the new military age by a margin of a few days, was called up for service in error after being placed in Grade 3; the notice was, however, cancelled, and the man is still in civil life. In the other case, the proceedings appear to have been quite regular; the man was called for medical examination and was placed in Grade 3; there is no trace of a notice having been sent calling him up for service. He also is still in civil life.
