§ 68. Mr. THURTLEasked the Secretary of State for Air whether before deciding to carry out a sham air attack on London he will take into consideration the disturbing effect such an attack would have upon the nerves of the people, especially those who experienced air raids during the War?
§ Sir S. HOAREAssuming that the hon. Member is referring to the proposed combined exercise to be carried out next May by aircraft and anti-aircraft units, I am glad to say that the arrangements will be such as to occasion no alarm to the population. There is to be no organised sham air attack, but a few machines will fly over London to afford practice to anti-aircraft and searchlight units. There will be no firing.
