§ Sir H. Williamsasked the Secretary of State for War why no explanatory memoranda were attached to the Protected Areas Orders (S.R. & 0., Nos. 792 and 793, of 1944), in order to make it clear without reference to other documents what effect these orders, respectively, had.
§ Sir J. GriggI gave the House an explanation of the effect of these Orders in answer to Questions by several hon. Members on 11th July, the day before the Orders were made. But I agree that such an explanation does not necessarily obviate the need for an explanatory note on the instrument itself, and I have arranged for such a note to be added to any similar Orders which it may be necessary to issue from time to time from my Department, whether or not a separate oral explanation is given.
