§ Mr. Lowasked the Minister of Labour how many men registered for National Service to the Blackpool office of his Department in the financial years 1948–49 and 1949–50; how many it is estimated will register in 1950–51; of these how many were called up during each year, how many were deferred and how many exempted; how many who had previously been deferred were called up or are expected to be called up during this year; and, of those called up, how many were called up into the Royal Navy, the Army and the Royal Air Force, respectively.
§ Mr. IsaacsSeven hundred and ninety seven men registered under the National Service Acts at Blackpool during the financial year 1948–49, and 817 during the financial year 1949–50. It is estimated that a similar number will register in 1950–51. As the registration documents are not maintained according to the place where a man happened to be at the date of registration, the rest of the information asked for is not available and could not be obtained without a search of the whole of every National Service register in the country.
