HC Deb 14 August 1940 vol 364 c791W
Mr. De la Bère

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, whilst recognising the necessity for preferential treatment in allocation of arms and equipment to units of the Home Guard situated in specially vulnerable areas in this country, he will take steps to ensure that reasonable equality in such allocation is extended to units in less vulnerable areas?

Sir E. Grigg

Every effort is being made to secure equality of treatment in this respect.
