HC Deb 14 September 1914 vol 66 c784W
Mr. RAWLINSON

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will take steps, by the introduction of a Bill or otherwise, to obtain a census of the male population of Great Britain at the present time for the purpose of ascertaining the number of men of British nationality of an age suitable for military service but not employed in such service, and the districts where such men reside, and also the number of male aliens in the country?

Mr. McKENNA

I would refer the hon. Member to the elaborate figures of British and foreign males of various ages contained in the Reports of the Census of 1911. I could not undertake at the present time to obtain further information.
