§ 45. Mr. Rhys Daviesasked the Prime Minister whether he is now in a position to give an up-to-date casualty list since the outbreak of war?
§ The Deputy Prime Minister (Mr. Attlee)The total number of casualties of the Armed Forces of the British Empire for the first four years of war is now being prepared. It is necessary, however, to consult the Dominions before publication can take place, and this takes time. I will try to arrange for the information to be published as soon as this can be done without assisting the enemy.
