asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations how many men in the United Kingdom for the year ended 31st December, 1950, were recruited into the Australian Armed Forces.

Nine hundred and forty-two, Sir.

Is this recruiting still going on?

Yes, I think so, Sir. There were certain agreed numbers up to which recruits could be sought in this country.

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that there is some query over the allowances to be paid to men of the Royal Australian Navy who were recruited for service in this country only, and will he look into the matter?

Certainly, Sir, if the hon. and gallant Gentleman will put down a Question.
