121. Lieut. - Commander Hutchison

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how many recruits for the Control Commission in Germany and Austria are at present in receipt of pay whilst awaiting passage from the United Kingdom to their destinations; and how many of these recruits have been waiting for passage for more than one month.

Mr. J. Hynd

At the end of last week the number was just over 2,130; about 1,530 had been on pay for more than one month. By the end of this week some 700 of the 2,130 should have proceeded overseas.
