§ Mr. McGovernasked the Home Secretary whether he will inquire into the conduct of Mr. William Lyle, 34, Tylney Road, Oldhall, near Paisley, who is an air-raid warden and has been demanding to enter private houses, threatening to arrest persons who he asserts are not properly carrying out black-out regulations; that he is very abusive to the residents and has frightened Mr. and Mrs. J. Ward of 2, Tylney Road, Oldhall, by his repeated abuse and threats, and by what authority this man enters houses and threatens arrest; and is he aware that a number of responsible persons can testify to such conduct?
§ Sir J. AndersonI have had inquiries made. It would be taking up the time of the House unduly to give a detailed account of the circumstances as reported to me, but I may say that according to my information the facts of the case are not at all as represented and there is no justification for the allegations made against the warden referred to.
