Sir A. Maitland

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has considered the resolution passed by the Essex County Council on 16th May urging upon His Majesty's Government that all approved expenditure in connection with air-raid precautions should be wholly a national charge; and will he give the nature of his reply?

Sir J. Simon

No, Sir. I have not seen a copy of the resolution referred to by my hon. Friend.
