Summary of case: The appeal to the local tribunal was to enable a substitute to be trained. Trafford worked for Co-op Insurance Society. Temporary exemption was granted for three months. He has a classification of C3. The military representative in his case to the North Riding Appeal Tribunal stated it is not in the national interest that he remain in civil employment as the work could be done by a man over military age. He claims that the man's previous military training would make him a useful instructor or orderly in the army. He does not ask for exemption but for time to train a substitute having already had three years to do so.
