HC Deb 26 February 1946 vol 419 c345W
Mr. King

asked 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. Isaacs

The 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.
