§ 29. Mr. BILLINGasked the Prime Minister whether he will give an early day for the discussion of the questions of air raid warnings and compensation for victims of enemy air raids over this country?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThe answer is in the negative.
§ Mr. BILLINGWill the right hon. Gentleman take an early opportunity of making a very definite statement with regard to the compensation; and also whether it is the fact that London is the only place where air-raid warnings are not permitted?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI made a very definite statement as regards the compensation. The other matter is one which must be dealt with by the Home Office.
§ 30. Mr. BILLINGasked the Prime Minister whether, pending the Government's decision as to warning London of the approach of enemy aircraft, he will at least consider the advisability of introducing some system of signalling whereby the public may be made acquainted with the fact that a raid has terminated and the danger is past?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONThe question of giving notice that danger from an air raid had passed has already been considered, and the disadvantages outweigh any advantage that might accrue from its adoption.
