Rejected petition Re-Introduction of National Service

More details

I believe that a reintroduction of National Service should be made mandatory to all persons aged 16-21 unless they are in full time education or working full time.
Should they ‘drop out’ of education or leave their place of work without a means to support themselves then they will be called up to serve their country.
This should be compulsory for both men and woman, who are British subjects,regardless of their religion.
There should be no benefits’ or social housing available to them until they have completed their National Service.
