World War II: National Service
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how many Bevin Boys were conscripted from Rother Valley constituency.
- Answer
-
Unlike those conscripted into the Armed Forces during World War Two, those who were conscripted or volunteered as Bevin Boys to work in the UK’s coal mines, were employed and paid by individual mine owners and operators. No central records were kept, and the Government therefore cannot provide details of the numbers conscripted from the Rother Valley constituency.
