HC Deb 30 April 1934 vol 289 c25
46. Earl WINTERTON

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office why the War Office does not intend to raise any branch of the Royal Defence Force in Sussex?

Mr. COOPER

Adequate provision has been made without the necessity of asking the Sussex Territorial Army Association to enrol any personnel for this corps.

Mr. LUNN

Is it the intention of the Government to enrol the Royal Defence Corps only in the industrial areas, and particularly the mining areas, and, if so, may I ask him to remember Feather-stone?

Mr. COOPER

The answer to the first part of the question——

Mr. SPEAKER

The question on the Paper deals only with Sussex.
