HC Deb 19 November 1971 vol 826 c225W
Mr. Ralph Howell

asked the Minister of State for Defence if he will ensure that boys who wish to join the Forces at 15 years of age will be enabled to do so when the school leaving age is raised to 16 years of age.

Lord Balniel

I am in consultation with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Education and Science about this. I cannot say any more at present.
