§ 123 Sir G. Foxasked the Minister of Labour how many per 100 men due for military service have been called up in the last 12 months; and if he will give similar figures, denoting the numbers in different categories, of those not called up.
§ Mr. Isaacs:I am uncertain what information the hon. Member desires. On 1st July. 1945, it is estimated that there were in civil life 669,000 fit men who had attained the age of 18 years and who had not attained the age of 31 years. From these men, and from those who attained the age of 18 since 1st July, approximately 180,000 joined the Armed Forces between V.J. Day and 28th February, 1946. It is not possible to subdivide these figures on an industrial basis.
