HC Deb 10 October 1940 vol 365 c485W
Captain Plugge

asked the Home Secretary whether the need has arisen, in dealing with the effects of enemy air-raids, for forming a mobile labour corps to repair damage at short notice in any locality?

Mr. Mabane

Yes, Sir, and in the London Civil Defence Region a special commissioner has been appointed charged with the duty of co-ordinating and facilitating the work of the authorities responsible for the restoration of roads and public utility services damaged by enemy action and with the duty of organising the clearance and salvage of debris. A special national organisation has not so far been found necessary.
