§ Mr. R. C. Morrisonasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he will give sympathetic consideration to claims for discharge from further service of marines who have reached the age of 55 and completed over 21 years' service?
§ Mr. ShakespeareAll marines now serving or marine pensioners who may be recalled for service are liable to remain in the service for the remainder of the war irrespective of their age. I regret that I am unable to give any undertaking on the lines suggested by the hon. Member.
