HC Deb 18 April 1940 vol 359 c1104
71. Major-General Sir Alfred Knox

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what sums he has received since the beginning of the war from the air-raid precautions wardens of the Virginia Water group of the Egham Urban District Council, being refund of their pay as air-raid precautions wardens, voluntarily offered by wardens of this group for expenditure on some other national purpose?

The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Sir John Simon)

Sums amounting in all to £300 have been received. I am sure the House will share the appreciation which I have already conveyed to the donors of their public-spirited action.

Sir A. Knox

Can the Chancellor of the Exchequer state whether any similar sums have been received from any other groups in the country?
