HC Deb 30 April 1918 vol 105 cc1398-9W
Colonel Sir F. HALL

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will cause a Return to be issued without delay giving the number of officers and men up to the age of forty years, fit for service overseas, who are employed in the various Departments of the Admiralty, War Office, Royal Air Force, Ministry of Munitions, Ministry of National Service, Food Ministry, and the Civil Service; and whether instructions will be forthwith issued to the majority of these officers and men to proceed abroad and their positions refilled by those who have been wounded or are unfit for general service?

Mr. MACPHERSON

I regret that the Return is not yet complete. If my hon. and gallant Friend will repeat his question in about a week's time, I hope that complete figures will be available.
