Mr. Malson
asked the Prime Minister whether he can now give particulars of the casualties sustained by the Armed Forces of the British Empire between the 3rd September, 1941, and 2nd September, 1942?
Mr. Attlee
Yes, Sir. As the answer involves a tabular statement, I propose, with my hon. Friend's permission, to circulate in the OFFICIAL REPORT the casualties sustained by all ranks of the British Empire Forces during the first three years of war.
regards the second part, work on the scheme is being carried forward with energy and thoroughness. My hon. Friend will, however, be aware of the number, magnitude and intricacy of the problems involved, and I am not at present in a position to forecast when it will be possible to introduce the necessary legislation.
