HC Deb 28 February 1922 vol 151 c266
96. Mr. WISE

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury how many conscientious objectors are now employed in the Government service; and if the number has been reduced?

Mr. YOUNG

About 230 conscientious objectors are employed in the Civil Service. This number has not recently been materially reduced. As the hon. Member is no doubt aware, a Select Committee has been set up to inquire generally into this question.
