§ 15. Mr. Granville Sharpasked the Minister of Labour if he will give an estimate of the number of men who will be called up for service with the armed forces during 1947; the number of these whose service will have been deferred; and the corresponding figures for 1946.
§ Mr. IsaacsI estimate that in 1947 there will be called up 140,000 men born in 1929 and 35,000 born in earlier years and whose calling-up was deferred. The corresponding figures for 1946 are approximately 145,000 and 110,000 respectively.
