§ Mr. Lyonsasked the Home Secretary whether he proposes to take steps to recommend to local authorities the establishment of neighbours' leagues, such as exist in Leicester and elsewhere, to render mutual assistance when circumstances so demand; and whether he will lend the necessary aid and advice in any such desired establishment?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonI am aware that in many areas arrangements have already been made under which neighbours cooperate for mutual assistance and the protection of their immediate district. I am anxious to see this praiseworthy movement extended as widely as possible. It must be developed for the most part from local initiative and corporate feeling, but I will certainly consider how best I can stimulate its growth.
