§ Sir Knox Cunninghamasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will give the number of sections or branches of the Civil Defence Corps and Auxiliary Fire Service, the members of which have offered to continue their service on a voluntary basis.
§ Mr. RossMembers of the Civil Defence Corps and the Auxiliary Fire Service have always served on a voluntary basis. I have received no approach from a Scottish division of the Corps suggesting continued service without payment of bounty or expenses. One group of Auxiliary Fire Service volunteers has offered to continue to serve on this basis.
