§ 153. Mr. Collinsasked the Secretary of State for War the approximate date of demobilisation for men who have already served three years, but who are in release Groups 51–58.
§ Mr. BellengerI am unable to go beyond the provisional programme which my right hon. Friend the Minister of Labour announced on 6th November, which indicated that part of Group 50 would be released from the Army by the 87W end of next June. As regards later groups, it is not at present possible to add to the statement in paragraph 6 of the White Paper "Call up to the Forces in 1947 and 1948" that it will be the aim of the Government to release during 1947 all men called up before 1st January, 1944.
