§ Major Woolleyasked the Secretary of State for War whether, after the defeat of 43W Germany, a non-regular soldier who has served in the Army for the past three years or more and who has attained his 35th birthday will be sent compulsorily to the Far East.

The precise answer to my hon. and gallant Friend's Question will, of course, depend on the situation at the time.
