HC Deb 07 February 1951 vol 483 cc204-5W
55. Mr. J. N. Browne

asked the Minister of Defence whether the pay, bonus and allowances that will become due to Class Z and other Reservists will be free from any outstanding accounts due by such Reservists in respect of previous war service.

Mr. Shinwell

In the case of those Reservists who will be called up only for 15 days' training, it is not proposed to take any steps to recover such debts from the emoluments they receive. Other cases will be treated entirely on their merits.

Captain Ryder

asked the Minister of Defence what is the correct procedure for men in the Reserves wishing to apply for exemption from call-up on compassionate grounds.

Mr. Shinwell

Reservists affected by the plans for recall announced by the Prime Minister on 29th January who wish to apply on compassionate grounds for exemption from recall, should address their applications, together with full supporting evidence, to the authority from whom the call-up notice or the warning notice for training has been received.
