HC Deb 12 November 1940 vol 365 cc1562-3
23. Mr. Sloan

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he has considered the petition signed by 60 non-combatants stationed at a place of which he has been informed, asking to be transferred to Civil Defence work in London or any other humanitarian duties; and whether he will consider utilising their services in this particular work?

Mr. Eden

I cannot find that this petition has been received in the War Office. I am making further inquiries.
