§ Sir J. Mellorasked the Minister of Labour to indicate the administrative methods adopted with a view to ensuring that registration has been completed by all those liable to be called up for military service and that enlistment notices are served upon all those liable to be called up in any age group which it has been decided to call up; and whether he is satisfied that no appreciable number of individuals fail to register, or fail to receive and respond to enlistment notices, in due course?
§ Mr. BevinI do not think it would be advisable to describe these administrative methods in detail but I may say that full use is made of the National Register. I have no reason to suppose that any appreciable number fail to register. Enlistment notices are sent to all registered men whom it is decided to call up. I am not aware that there is any appreciable degree of failure to respond to enlistment notices but any question on this subject should be addressed to my right hon. Friends in charge of the Services Departments.
