§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will reconsider the case previously submitted to him of a university honours graduate who was called up while carrying out research work with a professor at Cambridge University chemical laboratory; that this man, whose subject is physics and who is a wrangler, was filling a reserved occupation and would be performing services more valuable to the nation if allowed to continue his work as a physicist; that the fact of his being a conscientious objector would seem to have been the reason for his release being refused; and whether he will investigate these circumstances?
§ Sir J. GriggI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave him on 17th December, 1942. No further application for this man's release has so far as I am aware been made.
