Is it time Britain brought back National Service?
French President Emmanuel Macron has vowed to plough ahead with a campaign promise to reintroduce compulsory military service nearly two decades after it was scrapped.
Despite concerns that it’s reintroduction could cause France both financial and legal problems, Macron has promised to make sure that all young people spend a month getting 'a direct experience of military life’.
But after 55 years without National Service, could it be time to reinstate it within the UK too? Former RAF Navigator, John Nichol is here alongside Journalist Clare Muldoon to discuss.
