HC Deb 14 December 1948 vol 459 c130W
Mr. Wilkes

asked the Minister of Labour whether he has yet come to a decision regarding the case, full details of which have been forwarded to his Department by the hon. Member for Central Newcastle, regarding calling-up deferment for three months only for Mr. Dennis White, 854, Shields Road, Walkergate, Newcastle-on-Tyne.

Mr. Isaacs

As my hon. Friend has already been informed, Mr. White was invited to make an application for postponement of his call-up, in order that his case could be considered by the independent statutory authorities. His application will be heard by the local Military Service (Hardship) Committee on 14th December, and he will have the opportunity of attending the hearing to explain the full circumstances of his case.
