HC Deb 11 July 1940 vol 362 c1325
29. Sir H. Williams

asked the Home Secretary whether he will consider some revision of the arrangements in respect of persons desiring to proceed to protected areas, so that they may have an assurance that they will be allowed to pay their visit before they commence their journey?

Sir J. Anderson

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given yesterday to a Question on this subject by the hon. and learned Member for Leicester, East (Mr. Lyons).

Sir H. Williams

On a point of Order. The Home Secretary has referred me to an answer given yesterday to a Private Notice Question. My Question was tabled last Monday. I take it that you, Sir, would not have permitted the Private Notice Question yesterday unless it was different from mine. In those circumstances I take It that I am entitled to a different answer from the Horne Secretary.

Mr. Speaker

I am afraid I overlooked that.

56. Mr. Granville

asked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that the check on civilians entering military-controlled areas is not being enforced; and will he consult the Secretary of State for War with regard to making use of special military police for this purpose?

Sir J. Anderson

I am not sure what my hon. Friend means by military-controlled areas, but if he will supply me with details of the cases which he has in mind, I shall be happy to consider what action I can most usefully take.
