HC Deb 04 December 1945 vol 416 c2081
27. Mr. Cook

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will state the number of N.F.S. personnel still engaged in duties in Scotland.

Mr. Fraser

At 30th November, 1945, there were 3,153 men and 580 women employed whole-time in the National Fire Service in Scotland.

Major Guy Lloyd

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that the grievance is not that they arc engaged in duties, but the vast majority of the N.F.S. are grousing because they have nothing on earth to do, and they cannot get out?
