§ 31. Major Sir Jocelyn Lucasasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that two young soldiers recently hired a motor-boat for a private commando raid on 1020 France; and what restrictions are placed on the hire of boats to prevent them from being used by enemy agents or others anxious to reach the Continent?
Mr. AlexanderYes, Sir. Various Orders have been made under the Defence Regulations imposing restrictions on the use of boats and providing for their immobilisation in certain areas. I am having inquiries made into the working of these Regulations.
