HC Deb 08 March 1951 vol 485 cc81-2W
85. Mr. Hurd

asked the Minister of Labour if he will ascertain how many of the 260,000 male aliens resident in the United Kingdom, will, in the case of emergency, be eligible for military service.

Mr. Bevan

The only male aliens resident in the United Kingdom liable for military service in an emergency would be those who are members of any of the Reserve and Auxiliary Forces, of whom there are, I understand, about 10,000 at most.
