HC Deb 18 November 1936 vol 317 cc1774-5
25. Mr. DAY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air the number of applications received for enlistment into the Royal Air Force for the year ended 31st March, 1936; the number that were medically examined and found physically fit; the number attested during the same period; and the number rejected for any cause?

Sir P. SASSOON

The number of definite applications for enlistment during the year ended 31st March, 1936, was 52,245. During the same period 18,889 were medically examined and found physically fit and 14,005 were attested. I regret that details are not available as to the numbers rejected for different reasons.

Mr. DAY

Can the right hon. Gentleman say what has happened to the other attestants?
