§ Mr. Parkerasked the Lord Privy Seal whether he is aware that boys between the ages of 14 and 18 are being asked to sign on for full-time service in the Auxiliary Fire Service; and whether he can undertake that they would receive payment in the event of their being called on to serve?
§ Sir J. AndersonI am aware that youths under 18 years of age are being enrolled as messengers in the Auxiliary Fire Service. The question of the age-limits within which such recruitment may properly be effected and of the appropriate conditions of service, including payment for whole-time service, is now under review.
