HC Deb 07 August 1941 vol 373 cc2119-20W
Sir P. Hurd

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will make it clear that any rearrangement in military areas that may now be found expedient will be for the war only, and that the association of county regiments with their home towns will be fully restored after the present emergency?

Mr. Sandys

It is not possible at this stage to foresee what arrangements will be made at the end of the war. However, I can assure my hon. Friend that full weight will be given to the undoubted value of the association of county regiments with their home towns.
