HC Deb 18 May 1943 vol 389 c953W
Mr. David Adams

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what proportion of the population of Seychelles has been recruited for overseas service; and whether full provision has been made for the families of these men?

Colonel Stanley

I regret that it is not in the public interest to give figures, but the hon. Member may rest assured that a substantial proportion of Seychelles man-power has been recruited for overseas service. Full provision for the families of these men has been made.
