Mr. F. HALLasked the Under-Secretary of State for War how many women served in Queen Mary's Army Auxiliary Corps as women clerks, overseas and on mobile and immobile home service work, respectively; whether any considerable proportion of other ranks were recruited from women normally unemployed as clerks; and how many of the women were discharged and demobilised between 1918 and October, 1920, and since that date, respectively?
Lieut.-Colonel GUINNESSI much regret that I am not in a position to furnish this information. It could only be obtained by prolonged research, the cost of which would not, I think, be justified.
