§ 73. Mr. JOYNSON-HICKSasked what is the total number of professional men who have volunteered for National Service, and what work are they doing?
§ Mr. BECKOver 4,000 professional men have volunteered up to the present time, and they are distributed over all the principal professions. Special arrangements have been made to deal with volunteers of this kind, to ensure that the services of as many as possible are used in employment which will, it is hoped, give scope for their professional abilities.
§ Mr. JOYNSON-HICKSHow many of them have really been employed in national work since they volunteered? Has a single man in that class been employed?
§ Mr. BECKI must ask for notice of that question. I have no responsibility. I am merely answering the question for my right hon. Friend.
§ Mr. OUTHWAITEWill the right hon. Gentleman say whether Lord Northcliffe has volunteered yet?
