HC Deb 15 November 1945 vol 415 cc2503-4W
Flight-Lieutenant Teeling

asked the Minister of Labour how many days, or how many shifts, boys conscripted for the mines must have missed before he considers it necessary to prosecute them as having deliberately left the service.

Mr. Isaacs

No such rule is or could be laid down. A decision to prosecute a lad for having left coalmining employment without the permission of a national service officer is taken in the light of the facts of the individual case.
