§ Mr. Kingasked the Minister of Labour why time spent by potential officers after enlistment at the universities under the direction of the Service Ministries, does not count towards demobilisation; and if he will reconsider this decision.
§ Mr. IsaacsThe time spent by these men at the universities was not whole time service in the Armed Forces counting for Service pay; it would, therefore, be inconsistent with the principles of the release scheme to allow it to count towards release from the Armed Forces. The answer to the second part of the Question is in the negative.
