§ Mr. Lyonsasked the Minister of Labour whether proposals are being considered for fresh medical examination of those in the younger age groups who have previously been rejected for military service; and whether service of those still medically unfit will be made available for work of national importance?
§ Mr. BevinA fresh medical examination is made in any case where special reasons exist, but I am advised that there is no sufficient reason for a general re-examination. Subject to their physical capabilities, those concerned have the same liability to be directed to undertake work of national importance as any other men who have not been called up to the Forces.
