HC Deb 27 July 1950 vol 478 c138W
151. Mr. Nicholls

asked the Secretary of State for War if there is an age limit above which men in Class Z Reserve will not be liable to recall in the event of an emergency.

Mr. M. Stewart

There is no statutory age limit above which men in the Class Z Reserve are not liable for recall in an emergency. However, should it be necessary to recall men in this class in emergency, the principle of "last out, first back" will be applied as far as is possible within the various Army trades and employments.

Mr. Driberg

asked the Secretary of State for War to which service Class Z reservists who were transferred in the latter part of the last war from the Royal Air Force to the Royal Armoured Corps, or other Army corps and units, will be assigned in the event of their recall.

Mr. Strachey

In the event of recall, these men will be assigned to the arms and corps of the Army in which they were serving when released.
