§ 37. Major Petherickasked the Secretary of State for War the authority under which members of the Home Guard in factory units can be transferred compulsorily to anti-aircraft units?
§ Mr. A. HendersonA man enrolling in the Home Guard is enrolled in the force as a whole, and not for service with any particular unit. This, of course, is subject to the general conditions of service of a Home Guard, which prevent his being ordered to give whole-time service or to live away from his home before mustering.
§ Major PetherickCan my hon. and learned Friend assure me that men drafted to anti-aircraft units from factory units are being employed near their own homes?
§ Mr. HendersonAs far as possible, yes.
