HC Deb 23 May 1940 vol 361 c292
33. Sir T. Moore

asked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that individuals holding Communist opinions are serving at air-raid precautions posts and expressing views hostile to this country; and whether he will investigate all such cases submitted to him?

Sir J. Anderson

I am prepared to examine any reports that may be submitted to me supporting the suggestion in the first part of the Question. I may add that in present circumstances there is a particular duty resting on local authorities to satisfy themselves as to the reliability in an emergency of individual members of their A.R.P. services.
