§ Mr. Granvilleasked the Home Secretary whether he will extend the Defence Regulations to enable the appropriate authorities to take action against any form of demanding payment from owners of property by individuals concerned with clearance and demolition work?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonMembers of rescue parties and demolition squads may not receive payments in any form from the public whom they serve. While I should be most reluctant to believe that this instruction is not generally observed, local authorities have it in their power to discharge those who break the rule.
