HC Deb 15 October 1940 vol 365 cc612-3W
Sir T. Moore

asked the Minister of Labour, when the next calling up may be expected; and whether he is aware of the complaints of men registered months ago and still not called up?

Mr. Assheton

Men are being called up for the Forces regularly each month. The interval between registration and calling up depends upon the Service which a man is to join and the needs of each Service for men of different categories. Consequently the interval between registration and calling up may vary considerably in individual cases, but I am not aware of any recent general complaints on this account. I would again point out that arrangements exist whereby men who express the desire may be called up early out of their normal turn.
