HC Deb 20 July 1939 vol 350 c744W
Mr. G. Strauss

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether un-established officers in the Civil Service who accept invitations to re-enlist for three years as Army instructors will have their employment in the Civil Service fully safeguarded?

Captain Crookshank

While every effort would be made to offer re-employment to the men referred to, I regret that it is not practicable to give an unqualified undertaking to reinstate unestablished officers after an absence of three years, though I can assure the hon. Member that any such cases would be sympathetically considered.
