HC Deb 21 August 1945 vol 413 c470W
Mr. S. Shephard

asked the Secretary of State for Wax to what extent men in low release groups are being sent to India and S.E.A.C.; and will he take steps to see that no man who is due for release within six months is sent to either of these Commands.

Mr. Lawson

Apart from certain individual specialists needed for temporary duty, men in the early release groups are not being sent to India/S.E.A.C, nor is any man being sent there who, under the programme of release ruling at the date of his departure from the United Kingdom, is due for release within six months.
