asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he is aware that many unemployed men of 20 to 22 years of age have been registered for His Majesty's Navy since last autumn; and will he arrange that these men be given an opportunity of serving without further delay?

Men who have registered under the National Service (Armed Forces) Act and have been provisionally accepted for entry into the Navy, and wish on account of unemployment to be called up as soon as possible, should apply for early calling-up to the Ministry of Labour Office at which they were medically examined.
