HC Deb 06 May 1941 vol 371 c714W
Mr. Rhys Davies

asked the Secretary of State for War the number of conscripts discharged from the Army since the outbreak of the present war; whether statistics are available showing the reasons for such discharge; and how do these figures compare with those of the great war of 1914–1918?

Captain Margesson

I am afraid that it would not be in the national interest to give this information, since it might be of value to the enemy.
