HC Deb 20 March 1940 vol 358 c1975
43. Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Supply the number of persons who have been recruited to his staff from the Central Register since the outbreak of war; and what percentage this is of persons recruited in these grades?

Mr. Burgin

I regret that the information is not immediately available as it involves reference to outstations, but I will communicate with the hon. Member in due course.

Mr. Parker

Will the Minister publish these figures in the OFFICIAL REPORT?

Mr. Burgin

Yes, Sir. When I have obtained the figures and communicated them to the hon. Member, there will be no difficulty in publishing them in the Official Report. A large number of appointments are made to outstations, and I must secure a return of them before I give the hon. Member a reply.
