Class Z Reserve

HC Deb 06 March 1951 vol 485 c26W

37. Mr. Erroll

asked the Secretary of State for War whether interference with degree course studies will he regarded as a valid ground for exemption from call-up in Class Z Reserve this year.

Mr. Strachey

This will depend upon the degree of interference which the training would cause to the studies. Applications for exemption on these grounds will be treated on their merits.

38. Mr. Erroll

asked the Secretary of State for War whether medical students whose studies are approaching completion, will be called up under the Z Reserve call-up scheme.

Mr. Strachey

No such students should be called up under this scheme. If they should receive a call-up notice they may apply for exemption, submitting supporting evidence, and exemption will be allowed.
