HC Deb 08 January 1942 vol 377 c66W
Mr. Groves

asked the Secretary of State for War whether it is the policy of the Government to encourage the setting up of village defence committees, upon which all defence services are represented, as is the case in East Anglia?

Mr. H. Morrison

I have been asked to reply. Subject to certain general guidance issued centrally, the areas in which village defence committees should be set up are settled by the regional commissioner in consultation with the Army commander.
