§ 19. Mr. Prittasked the Home Secretary whether he has delegated any of his functions under Section 39e (2) of the Defence Regulations, 1939, to any mayor, justice of the peace, or chief officer of police; and, if so, to what extent and subject to what restrictions, and to what officials he has made such delegation?
§ Sir J. AndersonThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. The second part does not, therefore, arise.
§ Mr. PrittWould the right hon. Gentleman bear in mind, if he does make this. 1047 delegation, the desirability of making it in some public form?
§ Sir J. AndersonI will certainly keep that point in mind.
