HC Deb 21 January 1947 vol 432 c15W
86. Mr. Piratin

asked the Secretary of State for War how many Danish soldiers are serving in the British Army; in what spheres they are serving; and if it is with the accordance of the Danish Government that these soldiers are serving in spheres which were not contemplated at the time of their volunteering.

Mr. Bellenger

Up to date figures are not available at the moment but a census is about to be taken. I will write to the hon. Member when the results are received. As stated publicly in 1945, when the scheme began, these men were, with the agreement of the Danish Government, enlisted for service with the British Army anywhere in the world. The latter part of the Question does not therefore arise.
