HC Deb 13 February 1940 vol 357 c608W
Sir H. Morris-Jones

asked the Minister of Labour whether, in any appeals to tribunals in Wales by conscientious objectors, any exemption from service has been granted on political grounds?

Mr. E. Brown

I am not aware of any definition of "political grounds" which would enable me to analyse the decisions of tribunals in the manner requested by the hon. Member, even if it were proper for me to do so. The grounds on which registration as a conscientious objector may be effected are contained in Section 5 of the Armed Forces Act, to which I would refer the hon. Member.
