HC Deb 14 May 1947 vol 437 cc1498-9
48. Mr. Keeling

asked the Minister of Defence how the proportion of desertions during the recent war compares with that in the previous war.

Mr. Alexander

I regret that this information is not available.

Mr. Keeling

Will the right hon. Gentleman endeavour to obtain the information?

Mr. Alexander

I think it would involve far too much labour at the present time.
