asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will give, in the form of a table, the numbers of men and women members of the Colonial Forces who were mobilised during the 1939–45 war; the numbers who actually served outside their particular Colony; and the casualties sustained in the case of each Colony and branch of the Service.

This information is not available in the Colonial Office. I will endeavour to obtain it, and will communicate with the hon. Member when inquiries are complete.
