HC Deb 06 May 1947 vol 437 c25W
7. Mr. Pritt

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will consider extending the categories for release of men from the Forces under Class B to take up courses at the universities, so as to cover men who will have completed three years' service in the Armed Forces and reached the age of 21 years at the beginning of the academic year in October.

Mr. Ness Edwards
