§ Mr. Ammonasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he can now give an assurance that unestablished officers in the Civil Service who accept an invitation to re-enlist will be reinstated when their period of service in the armed forces expires?
§ Captain CrookshankWhilst I am not clear which members of the Civil Service the hon. Member has particularly in mind, I am happy to assure him that unestablished civil servants who, with the consent of their Department, voluntarily enlist in the Armed Forces, will on the termination of such service be treated in the matter of reinstatement in accordance with the spirit of Section 14 of the National Service (Armed Forces) Act, 1939.
