HC Deb 26 November 1941 vol 376 cc764-5W
Mr. Rostron Duckworth

asked the Home Secretary whether he proposes to train temporary inactive Civil Defence workers to discharge other responsibilities; and whether he can make any statement on the subject?

Mr. H. Morrison

Local authorities have been asked to train their Civil Defence personnel in the duties of other Civil Defence services so that they may render the maximum assistance to the victims of raids. I am examining whether further steps can be taken to make use of unoccupied time within the tour of duty.
