HC Deb 12 December 1946 vol 431 c286W
Mr. F. Willey

asked the Secretary of State for War how many men with previous service in the N.F.S. are at present serving in the Army.

Mr. Bellenger

I can only give figures of men who immediately before joining the Colours were full-time members of a fire brigade or service. In the middle of November there were 934 such men serving in the Army, of whom 31 were Regular soldiers.
