HC Deb 08 August 1940 vol 364 c444W
Mr. Lyons

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will consider the issue of additional and appropriate clothing for use of the Home Guard during winter months?

Mr. Law

I would refer my hon. and learned Friend to the answer I gave yesterday to my hon. Friend the Member for Brighton (Sir C. Rawson).

Mr. Rostron Duckworth

asked the Secretary of State for War in what areas recruiting for the Home Guard has been closed?

Mr. Law

Instructions have been given to close down recruiting in all areas, except where requirements have not been fully met. I regret that I am not yet in possession of information as to the areas in which recruiting has been completed.
