§ Colonel Raynerasked the Minister without Portfolio whether, in the inquiry he is conducting with regard to the problems which have arisen in the Defence Areas through enemy action, he will extend his investigations to the plight of those residents who have been compulsorily evacuated in order to provide areas for training purposes.
§ Sir W. JowittThe inquiry which I am making is confined to problems which are peculiar to the coast towns in the South-East of England where measures were taken from 1940 onwards to prepare against the dangers of invasion. I regret that the inquiry cannot be extended to cover problems which are not peculiar to those areas.
