HC Deb 14 December 1960 vol 632 cc63-4W
Mr. Kershaw

asked the Secretary of State for War how many Fijians have enlisted into the British Army in the last 12 months; and where they enlisted.

Mr. Profumo

One Fijian enlisted during the last 12 months; at Kentish Town, London.

Mr. Kershaw

asked the Secretary of State for War what steps he is taking to increase enlistment of Fijians into the British Army.

Mr. Profumo

None.

Mr. Kershaw

asked the Secretary of State for War how many recruiting offices for the British Army there are in Fiji.

Mr. Profumo

There are no recruiting offices in Fiji. As in all Colonial Territories, the local administration is the proper channel for inquiries, but enlistment must be carried out in the United Kingdom.
