§ 71. Mr. JOYNSON-HICKSasked how many men have already volunteered for National Service, and of that number how many are engaged in essential employments; and how many men who have been enrolled have been moved from un essential to essential employments?
§ Mr. BECKThe number of men who have already volunteered for National Service is approximately 125,000, of whom about 30 per cent. are engaged in employment regarded as being of national importance. With regard to the second sentence, I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer I have already given to the hon. Member for Mile End.
§ Mr. HOGGEWhat is the use of stating 125.000 are enrolled if 30 per cent. of them are already doing work?
§ Mr. PRINGLECan the hon. Gentleman say how many compulsory volunteers there are?
