HC Deb 07 October 1941 vol 374 cc855-6W
Mr. Pearson

asked the Secretary of State for War (1) what facilities are now in operation to enable men recruited from Wales to serve in Welsh units;

(2) what necessary steps must be taken by a Welsh soldier in order to obtain a transfer from a non-Welsh to a Welsh unit?

Captain Margesson

Every effort is made to post Welshmen to Welsh units and transfers are effected wherever possible. My hon. Friend will appreciate, however, that military requirements may not always permit the full application of the principle.
