Ruling Conservative Party says it will bring back national service if it wins the July 4 general election.
Eighteen-year-olds will have to perform a mandatory national service if the Conservative Party is voted back to power in the United Kingdom’s July 4 election, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has announced.
The UK has “generations of young people who have not had the opportunities they deserve”, and this measure would help unite society in an “increasingly uncertain world”, Sunak said on Saturday.

The prime minister’s plan would entail young people being given a choice between a full-time placement in the armed forces for 12 months or spending one weekend a month for a year volunteering in their community, the party said.
The announcement came as Conservatives gear up for elections , heightening its attacks on the opposition Labour Party.
The UK had national service between 1947 and 1960, with men between the ages of 17 and 21 serving in the armed forces for 18 months. The British Army has reduced in size from 100,000 in 2010 to nearly 73,000 as of January 2024, the BBC reported.
The Conservative Party said the placement with the armed forces would help the teenagers “learn and take part in logistics, cybersecurity, procurement or civil response operations”.
The community service option would entail helping local fire, police and the UK’s National Health Service, as well as charities tackling loneliness in elderly, isolated people. The programme would cost approximately 2.5 billion pounds ($3.2bn) a year, BBC reported.
A royal commission, with experts from military and civil society, would be created to design the national service programme.
The first pilot for the programme would open applications in September 2025. Following that, the Conservatives would introduce a “National Service Act” to make the measures compulsory by the end of the next parliamentary term.
The Conservatives have insisted the scheme does not amount to conscription, the Guardian reported.
“This new, mandatory national service will provide life-changing opportunities for our young people, offering them the chance to learn real-world skills, do new things and contribute to their community and our country,” Sunak said.
“The consequences of uncertainty are clear. No plan means a more dangerous world. You, your family and our country are all at risk if Labour win,” he added.
The Labour Party called the announcement “another desperate unfunded commitment” and said the foreign minister, David Cameron, introduced a similar scheme – the National Citizen Service – when he was prime minister.
A Labour spokesperson said: “This is not a plan – it’s a review which could cost billions and is only needed because the Tories hollowed out the armed forces to their smallest size since Napoleon.”
“Britain has had enough of the Conservatives, who are bankrupt of ideas and have no plans to end 14 years of chaos. It’s time to turn the page and rebuild Britain with Labour.”
Several European countries, including Sweden, Norway and Denmark, already have some form of conscription for their armed forces.
The deadline for cat owners to microchip their pets is fast approaching, with a law making it compulsory coming into force on 10 June. Here is what you need to know about the new requirements.
Saturday 1 June 2024 12:30, UK
Cat owners could face a fine of up to £500 if they fail to microchip their pet under a law coming into force on 10 June.
There are more than nine million pet cats in England - but as many as 2.3 million are unchipped.
Microchips mean lost, stray or stolen cats can be reunited with their owners.
The government is introducing new rules to make microchipping compulsory in England.
Here is what you need to know.
What do cat owners need to do?
Cat owners must have their pet microchipped by 10 June.
After that date, it will be a legal requirement to have cats microchipped before they reach the age of 20 weeks.
Make sure you keep a note of your cat's microchip number. If you don't have it, call your vet to see if it is on their records, or take your cat to the vet to have them scanned.
What happens if you do not microchip your cat?
If you are found to have not microchipped your cat, you will be given 21 days to get it done.
If you still have not done it after this point, you will face a fine of up to £500.
What are the rules across the UK?
The new law only applies in England.
Microchipping cats is not compulsory in Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland - but there have been calls from animal charities for the nations to follow suit.
How much does microchipping cost?
Microchipping your cat costs between £10 and £30, according to the RSPCA.
Some animal charities and organisations also offer microchipping and may be able to do it for a reduced rate, or for free.
If you adopt a cat from a rescue centre or animal welfare charity they should be microchipped, and the organisation should give you the information you need to update the details on the microchip.
What happens if you need to update the microchip details?
You should contact your microchip database to update your details if you change your phone number or move house.
You can normally do this by phoning them or going to their website.
There may be a small fee to update your details on the database.
If you are rehoming your cat, you will need to complete a transfer of ownership document so the new owners' details will be on the microchip database.
If your cat dies you should report this to your microchip database so their files can be updated.

What is a microchip?
A microchip is a tiny computer chip about the size of a grain of rice. It contains a unique code that is registered on a database with the owner's contact details.
The microchip is inserted under the cat's skin, usually around the scruff of the neck, using a needle.
Once the chip is implanted, it stays there for life.
If a cat is found away from home, the microchip can be scanned so the owner can be contacted.
Does the microchipping rule apply to all cats?
Cats that have little or no human contact will not need to be microchipped.
This includes farm, feral and community cats.

Just to be clear: schools are not obliged to set homework, and some don't. But when schools do set homework, children do need to do it. We trust individual school head teachers to decide what their policy on homework will be, and what happens if pupils don't do what's set. Policy and approach won't be the same in all cases.
