The Committee had under consideration a memorandum (L.P.(42) 61) by the Minister of Labour and National Service calling attention to the fact that the Military Training Act, 1939, would lapse in May, 1942, unless steps were taken to maintain it in force by means of addresses by both Houses of Parliament. THE MINISTER OF LABOUR expressed the view that the Act should be allowed to lapse. During the War the provisions of the Act were not being used, since men were called up under the National Service (Armed Forces) Act.
