HC Deb 18 November 1941 vol 376 c185W
Mr. Sorensen

asked the Prime Minister whether, to allay public uncertainty respecting casualties, he will give the House not only official figures respecting British, Dominion, Colonial and Indian killed, wounded, missing and prisoners but also a reliable estimate of the respective categories of enemy casualties?

The Prime Minister

The figures desired by the hon. Member in so far as they relate to the United Kingdom and the Colonies will in due course be published in the OFFICIAL REPORT. The publication of Dominion and Indian casualties is, of course, a matter for His Majesty's Governments in the Dominions and for the Government of India, but I will take steps to ascertain the wishes of those Governments in this matter. The answer to the second part of the hon. Member's Question is in the negative.
