HC Deb 18 December 1958 vol 597 c233W
98. Mr. Langford-Holt

asked the Minister of Labour whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that although a summons to attend a medical examination was sent from his office on 22nd September it was not received by Mr. G. W. A. Yapp, at present employed by Mr. J. A. Kynaston, Edgebold, Shrewsbury; that therefore, although it was issued from his Department on this date, it cannot be said to have been issued to Mr. Yapp as stated in his letter to the hon. Member for Shrewsbury, dated 2nd December, as Mr. Yapp has never received such summons; and whether he will reconsider his decision to assume the summons was issued to Mr. Yapp.

Mr. Iain Macleod

The agricultural work for which Mr. Yapp was deferred came to an end on 6th September and a notification to attend medical examination was therefore issued to him. I am aware that he did not receive the notice. In view of all the circumstances of the case I have decided to regard the application for Mr. Yapp's deferment received from Mr. Kynaston as valid and it will be considered accordingly.
