§ 32. Sir Hugh O'Neillasked the Home Secretary whether it is the intention of the Government to give further details of casualties in air raids; and, if so, will he say how the last figures published were divided, as between the Armed Forces, and civilian men, women and children?
§ Sir J. AndersonThe figures of air-raid casualties published by my Department relate to civilian casualties and do not include any casualties among members of the Armed Forces. I will circulate in the OFFICIAL REPORT figures showing how the civilian casualties during the month beginning 18th June were divided between men, women and children; and I have arranged that this classification shall be adopted, so far as practicable, in future monthly statements of civilian casualties.
§ Following are the figures:
