HC Deb 14 November 1944 vol 404 c1821W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will reconsider the case, details of which have been submitted to him, of a university medical student who has studied for four years and passed the first and second examinations for a degree but has failed in one part of the final examination and in consequence has been de-reserved and directed to coalmining.

Mr. Bevin

As a result of inquiries which have been made I regret that I am unable to vary the decision which was given after careful investigation of the circumstances. I am writing more fully to my hon. Friend.
