§ 32. Mr. GILBERTasked the Home Secretary whether it is proposed to alter in any way the present system of air-raid warnings in London or if it is proposed to continue during the autumn and winter months the present warnings by maroons; whether he will state what arrangements have been made for the opening of tube stations and other shelters if raids take place late or after midnight; and if he will issue posters on all public buildings giving the present warnings and especially advising the public to stay at home?
§ Sir G. CAVEIt is proposed to continue during the autumn and winter months the present system of air-raid warnings in London, which has proved effective. 1531 Arrangements have been made under which all the tube stations, with the exception of a few which are unsuitable, will be available as shelter at whatever time a raid may occur, in addition to the great majority of the buildings classed as public shelters. It is not proposed to issue posters warning the public to stay at home when warning is given of a raid, as this advice has been frequently given, and is, I believe, now well understood and generally followed.
