HC Deb 17 December 1970 vol 808 cc405-6W
71. Miss Lestor

asked the Minister of State for Defence, in view of the changes in relation to release of young Service recruits, whether he will seek powers to assist those young men who deserted after being refused release.

Mr. Lambton

No further powers are needed. Existing powers will always be exercised in relation to the circumstances of each case.
