announced that he had hoped he would get a list of volunteers from each county who would agree if they were asked by the Ministry to act on these administrative committees. They all knew the responsibilities on these committees and he would expect those who put down their names would act whatever the loss or trouble. The Cabinet might be able to devise a different scheme but he would like to have a list of volunteers in case of need.
