§ Mr. W. THORNEMay I ask the Leader of the House whether he is aware of the rumours which were current in various parts of London of an invasion having taken place in Scotland, and also at Lowestoft, and whether any information of that kind has been obtained?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI have heard a great many rumours of that kind, but I have not been able to find out that there is any foundation for any of them. As far as I have been able to gather, if it is possible to state any source of those rumours, they are due to the fact that our Home Defence Forces were told to be ready for any emergency, which often happens, but the emergency in this case created unusual commotion.
