HC Deb 07 August 1940 vol 364 c219W
Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Labour why military hardship committees in some cases are ignoring the recommendations of the joint recruiting boards that chemistry students, at the end of their second year, should be allowed another year's postponement of military service?

Mr. Bevin

Effect is given to such recommendations without reference to hardship committees, and I should he glad to have particulars of any case that my hon. Friend has in mind in order that I may make inquiries.
