HC Deb 19 June 1950 vol 476 cc83-4W
Dr. Broughton

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, after his recent visit to Malaya, he has found it possible to reduce the number of National Service men in that theatre of military operations.

Mr. Strachey

National Service men are sent abroad only to the extent that the fulfilment of our overseas commitments renders this necessary.
