HC Deb 15 March 1967 vol 743 c111W
89. Mr. Gresham Cooke

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether he will now grant the discharge from the Royal Navy of Able Seaman Michael Goldsworthy, of 13 Teddington Park Road, Teddington, on compassionate grounds of the ill-health of his parents, having regard also to the fact that he signed on at the age of 15 years and has wished to leave the Royal Navy during the five years since his enlistment.

Mr. Foley

No. I am unable to consider the case for this man's discharge on compassionate, or any other grounds, whilst he remains in desertion.
