§ 90. Major Anstruther-Grayasked the Minister of Labour how many young men have been totally exempted from National Service by reason of the fact that they have served in Dominion forces.
§ Mr. WatkinsonNone. My right hon. and learned Friend has no power to exempt a man from his liability under the National Service Acts. Liability for a total of 5£ years service cannot be reduced, but the amount of whole-time service which a man may be required to do may be abated by the Service Department concerned to take account of whole-time approved service performed in the armed forces of a Commonwealth country.
