HC Deb 18 January 1967 vol 739 cc56-7W
45. Dr. Gray

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether he will seek to amend the law so that young men who enlist at under 18 years of age may opt out of their contracts at three-or five-year intervals.

Mr. Reynolds

Recruits in all three Services will soon be able to purchase their discharge before completion of their third month of service. I am sorry that I cannot accept my hon. Friend's suggestion.
