120. Dr. Hillasked the Minister of Labour the grounds on which engineering apprentices who completed their apprenticeship training in 1946, 1947 and 1948 are regarded as outside the field of call-up for National Service.
§ Mr. BevanThe grounds are set out in the White Paper on Call Up to the Forces in 1947 and 1948 (Cmd. 6831) in accordance with which call-up has, since 1st January, 1947, been confined, with certain exceptions, to men born in or after 1929. I am sending a copy of the White Paper to the hon. Member.
