Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what information her Department holds on the number of Bevin Boys that are alive.

In total, between 1943 and 1948, some 48,000 men came under the Bevin Boys Scheme either through conscription or by volunteering. As the individuals were not employed by the Crown during their service, unlike those conscripted to the Armed Forces, no records were kept by the Government on their status post service.
