HC Deb 30 April 1952 vol 499 cc91-2W
74. Mr. Lewis

asked the Assistant Postmaster-General whether it is the practice of his Department to allow National Service men recalled for compulsory training to have this period at full pay less Service pay and allowances.

No. In accordance with general Civil Service regulations, National Service men have the option of taking special leave without pay or using their annual leave for the whole or part of the period.
