68. Mr. ROBERT WILSON

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether he can give statistics as to the quantity of ultra-violet rays registered at Kingsway and in typical industrial centres in the Midlands and in the North of England, together with the amount registered on Hampstead Heath and at open places such as Ventnor and Lowestoft?

The UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE for AIR (Sir Philip Sassoon)

Measurements of ultra-violet light have been made at Kingsway by the Meteorological Office for Dr. Leonard Hill, of the National Institute for Medical Research, and Dr. Hill has also collected statistics for various other localities, including most of those mentioned in the hon. Member's question. These statistics have been published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, 1927, Series A, volume 116, page 268.
