HC Deb 13 March 1952 vol 497 c1567
41. Mr. Ian Harvey

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will make a statement with regard to the appointment of regional commissioners.

Sir D. Maxwell Fyfe

A regional organisation already exists for peacetime Civil Defence purposes and it is so organised that it can be expanded to the necessary extent in the event of war. In present circumstances it is not considered necessary to appoint regional commissioners.
