My source was a friend, now dead, who was a contemporary at Sidney
Sussex College, Cambridge with David Owen who lived across the
corridor. He said Owen was the exception who had not already done
National Service.

If American, that's the sort of scandal that sees your political career
go down the toilet

Someone mentioned study medicine being an exemption, which is what
David Owen was doing.

Precisely! It was all entirely legitimate. Owen was a GP before he was
elected to Parliament.
