HC Deb 29 September 1939 vol 351 c1616W
Mr. Jackson

asked the Minister of Labour whether having regard to the labour requirements of agriculture during the expansion period ahead, he will take steps to see that farmers' sons and farm workers between the ages of 18 and 20 will have their military duty postponed?

Mr. E. Brown

No agricultural workers between the ages of 18 and 20 are being called up under the National Service (Armed Forces) Act, as persons between those ages are not at present liable to be called up for service.
