§ Mr. Denvilleasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that a raid took place on Newcastle some weeks ago and the only information conveyed to the hon. Member for the Central Division was through a German source; and will he give instructions that in future Members shall, in accordance with arrangements made at the outbreak of war, be informed immediately with a view to their presence and help in alleviating the suffering?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonMy hon. Friend is mistaken. No such arrangements have been made. Arrangements were, however, made last year whereby hon. Members may obtain general information about bombing in their constituencies from the appropriate local authorities. These arrangements were outlined in the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for West Birmingham (Mr. Higgs) on 7th November last, of which I am sending my hon. Friend a copy.
