§ Mr. K. Thompsonasked the Minister of Labour how many men subject to the provisions of the National Service Acts have not been called upon to serve with the Forces, giving the figures separately for each year since 1947.
§ Sir W. MoncktonAn analysis of the National Service registers is published twice annually in the Ministry of Labour Gazette. This analysis shows the numbers of men in each age class registered since 1946, whose call-up was, at the date of the count, for one reason or another, deferred or suspended. I am sending my hon. Friend a copy of the Ministry of Labour Gazette for November, 1953, which contains information relating to the latest count on 12th October, 1953.
