HC Deb 11 March 1943 vol 387 c881W
Sir W. Smithers

asked the Home Secretary whether he will give the House an assurance that when using his powers under the Defence of the Realm Regulations he treats every person alike irrespective of their position or status?

Mr. H. Morrison

In the exercise of my powers under the Defence Regulations, the sole consideration to which I have regard is the national security.
