§ 162. Mr. Boyd-Carpenterasked the Secretary of State or War how many men in Groups 44, 45 and 46 serving with 89W 88 Company, R.A.S.C., C.M.F., have had their release deferred.
§ Mr. BellengerMy information is that up to 31st October two R.A.S.C. other ranks in Group 44 serving in C.M.F. had been deferred and none in Group 45. I cannot say to which specific R.A.S.C. unit the men in Group 44 belong. I have not so far received any notification that R.A.S.C. personnel in C.M.F. of Group 46 which is not due to begin release until 23rd December have been warned for deferment.
