§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Minister of Labour whether he will reconsider the case, details of which have been submitted to him, of a medical student who failed in the examination after his preclinical course at Oxford University, but passed the English Conjoint Board examination and was then admitted to Guy's Hospital Medical School, where he has been training for nine months satisfactorily, but he is now informed by the Ministry that he is liable to be called up for military service although he should be medically qualified in 18 months.
§ Mr. BevinThe student concerned was reported by Oxford University as having failed to make satisfactory progress in his studies, and I should not feel justified in making an exception in this case to the usual rules which I explained to my hon. Friend when dealing with a similar case in my reply of 29th July, 1943, a copy of which I am sending him.
