§ 54. Sir L. Ropnerasked the Secretary of State for War how recruitment during the latest six-monthly period for which 212W figures are available compares with a similar period in 1961 and 1962; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Ramsden8,807 adults were recruited from civil life during the six months May to October of this year. The comparable figures for 1962 and 1961 were 15,391 and 12,616.
I have nothing to add to what I said on recruiting on 9th December.
