HC Deb 16 June 1936 vol 313 c804
45. Mr. DAY

asked the Prime Minister which Government Departments are responsible for schemes or suggestions that have been communicated by the Government to local authorities, advising them of the best methods to be adopted for the protection of the civil population against poison gas attacks in the event of same being made by a hostile Power in any future air raid; and can he give particulars?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Baldwin)

In England and Wales the Home Secretary, and in Scotland the Secretary of State for Scotland, are primarily responsible. I am sending the hon. Member a list of the circular letters and memoranda issued to local authorities on the subject.
