HC Deb 17 June 1942 vol 380 c1535W
Mr. Sorensen

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is satisfied with the progress of air-raid precautions measures in West Africa; and whether the appeal for volunteers has met with a satisfactory response?

Mr. Harold Macmillan

Yes, Sir. We are tolerably satisfied with the progress made so far. With regard to the second part of the Question, compulsory power may have to be exercised in certain areas.
