HC Deb 19 March 1946 vol 420 cc327-8W
107. Mr. Astor

asked the Secretary of State for War how many Territorials called to active service in August, 1939, are still serving.

Mr. Lawson

With the present high rate of release I cannot give an accurate figure for the number of Territorials called to active service in August, 1939, who are still serving. But under the present release programme all Territorials who have served in the Army continuously since August, 1939, will be released during the next three months unless their release is voluntarily or compulsorily deferred.
