HC Deb 25 May 1939 vol 347 c2527W
Mr. Shinwell

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the Government have considered the proposal that in certain cases exemption from training under the Military Training Bill may be granted on condition that the men concerned join the Territorial forces and with what result?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

It is not considered that service in the Territorial Army should be made a qualification for exemption in such cases.
