HC Deb 15 July 1947 vol 440 cc17-8W
Mr. Prescott

asked the Secretary of State for War how many Service men who had deferred to general demobilisation, were allowed, after the conclusion of hos- tilities with Japan, to amend their deferment.

Mr. Bellenger

No officers or other ranks serving in the Army who had deferred their release until general demobilisation were allowed to amend their deferment solely on account of the ending of hostilities with Japan.
