Major-General Sir Alfred Knox
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what sums he has received since the beginning of the war from the air-raid precautions wardens of the Virginia Water group of the Egham Urban District Council, being refund of their pay as air-raid precautions wardens, voluntarily offered by wardens of this group for expenditure on some other national purpose?
The Chancellor of the Exchequer
(Sir John Simon)
Sums amounting in all to £300 have been received. I am sure the House will share the appreciation which I have already conveyed to the donors of their public-spirited action.
Sir A. Knox
Can the Chancellor of the Exchequer state whether any similar sums have been received from any other groups in the country?
