HC Deb 09 September 1941 vol 374 c60W
Mr. Rhys Davies

asked the Minister of Labour what method is being employed to register persons, who have a conscientious objection to military service, who decline to register themselves?

Mr. Bevin

I would refer my hon. Friend to Sub-section (7) of Section 5 of the National Service (Armed Forces) Act, 1939. The power conferred by. this Sub-section of the Act has been exercised whenever there has been evidence to justify it.
