§ Mr. J. Morganasked the Prime Minister whether he can now instruct all the Departments concerned that certain defence areas in less likely regions for invasion can be reopened up, even temporarily, as reception areas for London and similar evacuees, as well as for the return of former inhabitants, so giving more urban facilities to urban-habited people and relieving the congestion in many rural areas which only possess limited amenities as wintering quarters?
§ The Prime MinisterInstructions were sent to all Regional Commissioners on 3rd October to the effect that persons wishing to move from bombed areas to live with relatives or friends should not be prevented from doing so on the ground that it would entail entering an area to which holiday or pleasure visits are normally prohibited. This concession does not apply to a limited number of areas where military restrictions make such a relaxation undesirable.
