§ Captain P. Macdonaldasked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the importance of preventing the civil population from crowding the roads and preventing the free movement of military transport in the event of invasion, he will take steps forthwith to make it clear to the public 1016W that they will be subject to severe penalties for using the roads without permission after an intimation has been given that the country is to be regarded as in a state of invasion?
§ Sir J. AndersonAs I have already stated, all practicable steps are being taken to ensure that in the event of hostile attack the movement of troops is not impeded by unnecessary traffic on the roads, and suitable measures are being taken to impress the importance of this matter upon the public.
