HC Deb 17 March 1942 vol 378 c1341W
Captain Molson

asked the Prime Minister the number of casualties in dead, wounded and missing, distinguishing between the Armed Forces and civilians, which had been sustained by the British Empire from the outbreak of war until the 31st December, 1941?

Mr. Attlee

The figures of casualties in dead, wounded, missing and prisoners of war sustained by the Armed Forces of the British Empire from the outbreak of war until 2nd September, 1941, have been collected in response to previous requests, and will shortly be published in the OFFICIAL REPORT. AS regards civilian casualties, I am inquiring whether figures on the same basis are available and whether the other Governments concerned agree to their publication.
