§ 43. Mr. Parkerasked 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. BurginI 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. ParkerWill the Minister publish these figures in the OFFICIAL REPORT?
§ Mr. BurginYes, 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.
