HC Deb 05 July 1951 vol 489 c247W
Mr. Bossom

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will give the names of the officers appointed to command the Home Guard in the counties of Kent. Surrey and Sussex, and of any assistants to them who have already been appointed.

Mr. Strachey

A number of gentlemen in these counties have agreed to act as commanding officers of Home Guard battalions if and when the Home Guard is raised, end others are being approached. I do not, however, consider it desirable to publish their names at the present stage.
