HC Deb 18 July 1944 vol 402 c42W
Mr. Hewlett

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will give the number of men who have been discharged on the ground that the State has no further use for their services; and whether this fact is recorded on their identity cards.

Sir J. Grigg

I regret that it would not be in the public interest to give these figures. The cause of discharge is entered on the soldier's discharge certificate but does not appear on his national registration identity card.
