§ 57. Mr. GUY(for Mr. LIDDALL) asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the total number of persons who derive their incomes, in whole or in part, from the National Exchequer; what number of these are engaged in civil occupations; and what number in the Defence Forces?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI am afraid that the very comprehensive information for which my hon. Friend asks is not immediately available, and could not be obtained without a disproportionate expenditure of time and labour. My hon. Friend will, however, find information relating to the civil staffs of Government Departments in Command Paper 4351, of which I am sending him a copy, and information as to the members of the Defence Forces in the respective Votes A of the three Defence Service Department Estimates.
