HC Deb 04 February 1937 vol 319 cc1795-6W
Lieut.-Colonel Moore-Brabazon

asked the Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence whether it is his intention to see that public institutions, post offices, police stations, and buildings of like character should have their own equipment for the generation of electrical energy as a spare in the event of the failure of the main supply, which might occur during a period of hostile attack?

Sir T. Inskip

The question of ensuring that supplies of light and power are maintained in time of war is kept under review in the preparation of schemes of air raid precautions. The steps required vary a great deal according to the resources and needs of different classes of premises.
