Mr. Turton

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he will state the number of persons in the North Riding of Yorkshire that have to date volunteered for the civil defence services; and the number that is likely to be required for the scheme of voluntary national service in the Riding?

Sir J. Anderson

Complete figures are not available but approximately 10,400 persons have been reported as enrolled for air-raid precautions services in the administrative county against an estimated requirement, which is at present provisional, of some 10,300.
