§ 3. Mr. M. Lindsayasked the Minister of Labour what representations he has received advising that scientists and technologists should not be called up for National Service; and whether he will make a statement.
Mr. lain MacleodI am at present considering a proposal from the Federation of British Industries that first and second class Honours graduates in science and engineering who wish to take employment in industry should not be called up. This suggestion needs very careful examination and I am not yet in a position to make a statement.
