RESIDENTS WHO OUGHT TO MOVE
Many residents., in the coastal defence zone are uncertain whe- ther or not it is their duty to re- main where they are or whether voluntary evacuation is contrary to the wishes of the Government.
The Government considers-that..... people who have no work or business to keep them in the [coastal: zone and who can make their own arrangements to move. should do so. Panic evacuation is strongly deprecated, and in the event of invasion would be pro- hibited..
The economic plight of these districts is receiving consideration in Whitehall. Regulations to re- tieve individual hardship are ex- pected shortly, and plans to aid local authorities are being made by the Ministry of Health:
A meeting of M.P:s representing constituencies in defence areas of will discuss the problems evacuation,
