HC Deb 23 February 1951 vol 484 cc237-8W
Mr. Llewellyn

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether, in order to minimise disruption in home life involved by call up in the Class G Reserve and having regard to any future call up that may be necessary, he will at once take steps to discover whether members of the Class G Reserve are married or unmarried.

Mr. A. Henderson

In selecting men for recall the determining factor must be whether or not it is in the interests of the Service and the country that a particular reservist should be given refresher training. We do not, and I am afraid we could not possibly, take into account whether a Class G reservist is married or single.
