HC Deb 27 June 1939 vol 349 cc222-3W
Miss Wilkinson

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that Mrs. Otto, of Spencer Street, Hebburn, a widow, whose only income for herself and young child is her pension, is dependent on twin sons liable for service on the same day; and whether, in such cases of dependency, he will make arrangements for twins to serve consecutively their Militia-training periods?

Mr. E. Brown
