HC Deb 10 February 1938 vol 331 cc1300-1W
Mr. Kirby

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he will state the number of Liverpool men who presented themselves for enlistment into the Royal Air Force during the year 1937, and the number who were rejected by reason of their poor physique during the same period?

Lieut.-Colonel Muirhead

Recruiting statistics do not show the place of domicile of applicants but the figures available show that 1,689 men presented themselves for medical examination at the Liverpool Recruiting Depot in 1937 and that of this number 103 were rejected by reason of poor physique.
