HC Deb 05 May 1925 vol 183 cc732-3
Sir W. de FRECE

asked the Secretary of State for War if, taking the number of recruits for last year, he will state the total enlisted in each British and Welsh county; and whether these total are in any way related to the existing measure of unemployment in such counties?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

The number of recruits enlisted in each of the Recruiting Zones, which correspond closely to county areas, is shown in Table 1 of Part III of the General Annual Report on the British Army for the year ending 30th September, 1924 (Cmd. 2342). I have no certain information which would enable me to reply to the second part of the question.
