§ Mr. MacLeodasked the Secretary of State for War how many men, other than Regular soldiers, now serving in the Army were called up before VE-Day; and how many have been called up since VE-Day.
§ Mr. BellengerThere are roughly 400,000 men still serving who were called up before VE-Day, but this figure includes a number of men who, while serving have taken on Regular and Short-Service engagements, or have voluntarily deferred their release. Since VE-Day about 270,000 men have been called up. I regret that more accurate figures are not available.
