§ Sir H. GREENWOODasked the Minister of National Service whether, in view of the improved war situation, he can extend any special concession to men who have more than five children; and whether it is a fact that none of our Allies recruit men who have six children or more?
§ Mr. BECKThe system of exemption in Allied countries is not the same as that which we have in force here. Under our system tribunals judge each case on its merits. With regard to the first part of the question, while it is not possible yet to relax the instructions with regard to recruiting, we may, I think, legitimately hope that before long some relaxation will be possible.
