HC Deb 18 July 1940 vol 363 c434W
Mr. Wedgwood

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that former members of the British Union of Fascists and kindred organisations have been appointed to positions of authority in the Local Defence Volunteers; and whether he has approved such appointments?

Sir E. Grigg

I have no information of any such appointments. Instructions have been issued that the competent authorities are to satisfy themselves upon the fitness of all commanders for the posts they hold.
