HC Deb 06 March 1952 vol 497 c90W
Mr. Chetwynd

asked the Secretary of State for War to give the number of Z reservists called up in 1951, in age and service groups, as a percentage of the total reserve called up in that year and not as a percentage of the number in each age and service group available for call-up.

Mr. Head

The distribution by age and service groups of the Z reservists selected for training in 1951 was as follows:—

Age and Service group Per cent.
1–10 … … Nil
11–20 … … .11
21–30 … … 13.46
31–40 … … 9.25
41–50 … … 16.94
51–60 … … 12.23
61–70 … … 17.57
71–80 … … 11.22
81–100 … … Nil
101–110* … … 3.93
111–120* … … 4.17
121–130* … … 3.54
131–140* … … 4.49
141–150* … … 3.09
* These are post-war groups which, therefore, contain fewer reservists than the earlier groups.
