HC Deb 18 April 1940 vol 359 c1132W
Mr. Rostron Duckworth

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he is aware that the return of civil servants will, without imperilling their work or lives, solve many difficult housing problems in the provinces; and whether, therefore, any modification in the policy of evacuating civil servants from London is under consideration or actually being started?

Captain Crookshank

The position of Government Departments in regard to evacuation is kept under constant review by His Majesty's Government, but no modification of the existing policy is in contemplation.
