HC Deb 30 July 1946 vol 426 c121W
Sir G. Fox

asked the Minister of Labour why apprentice Cadet G. R. Mundey's services in the Merchant Navy from December, 1943, to 1946, do not count as war service, although he was awarded the Atlantic Star, the Italy Star and the 1939–45 Medal; why he is now being called up for the Armed Forces; how many other cadets in similar circumstances have received calling-up notices; and if he will alter the regulations applicable.

Mr. Ness Edwards

Mr. Mundey is, I am informed, still employed in the Merchant Navy under his articles of apprenticeship. He is accordingly not available for call-up to the Armed Forces. The other parts of the Question, therefore, do not arise.
