HC Deb 30 July 1940 vol 363 cc1172-3W
Sir R. Gower

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he can give an assurance that civil servants who have enlisted with the permission of their Departments in various branches of His Majesty's Forces, will not necessarily be prejudiced in respect of their return to civilian duties by any adverse report made by a military authority upon them in the discharge of their purely military duties?

Captain Crookshank

This is a hypothetical question on which it is not possible to make any general statement as circumstances will differ widely. I can assure my hon. Friend that any cases which arise will be dealt with on their individual merits.
