HC Deb 16 December 1943 vol 395 cc1658-9
7. Commander Locker-Lampson

asked the Minister of Labour whether he has come to any arrangement with the Government of South Africa that English women living in South Africa but not born there, should be conscripted by the Union Government; and South African women born in South Africa but held up in England by the war should be conscripted by the British Government?

Mr. Bevin

No such arrangement has been made, and I would remind my hon. and gallant Friend that the Government of South Africa have not introduced conscription.
