22. Brigadier Clarke

asked the Minister of Labour how many men have been exempted from National Service on medical grounds each year from 1946 to 1949; and further, the number so exempted to date this year.

Mr. Isaacs

As the answer contains a number of figures, I will with permission circulate a table in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
