HC Deb 07 November 1939 vol 353 c62W
Major Cazalet

asked the Secretary of State for War whether it has been decided to increase the number of anti-aircraft units in this country; and whether he will consider reducing the age of recruits to be accepted for these units from the present age of 29 years?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

It would not be desirable to make any statement as regards the first part of the question. Recruiting for these units is now open for tradesmen of 20 to 50, and for non-tradesmen of 22 to 50 years of age.
