HC Deb 02 June 1943 vol 390 cc182-3
22. Major Nield

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he will forthwith call for volunteers to form the naval Forces or part of those Forces necessary for the occupation or policing of such areas overseas as may have to be occupied or policed after the war, in order to release Royal Navy personnel who have served abroad either to return home or to civilian employment as soon as possible?

Mr. Alexander

I do not think that my hon. and gallant Friend's suggestion is practicable at the moment.
