§ 47. Sir Percy Harrisasked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been called to the registration of a guarantee company to promote and assist recruiting offices and the well-being of all branches of His Majesty's Fighting Forces and Civil Defence organisations, under the title of the "Army, Home, and Empire Defence League"; whether the Government are identified in any way with this company; and, if so, how?
§ The Prime MinisterThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative, and to the second in the negative. The last part of the question does not, therefore, arise.
§ Sir P. HarrisDoes that mean that any body of men can form a body to promote recruiting in His Majesty's Forces without any status?
