HC Deb 28 June 1938 vol 337 c1711
57. Sir L. Smith

asked the Secretary of State for War whether adequate arrangements have now been made to provide air-raid protection in War Office industrial establishments?

The Secretary of State for War (Mr. Hore-Belisha)

Instructions have been issued for the guidance of the heads of War Department establishments in the matter of preparing passive air defence schemes, and an officer has been specially appointed to give advice on this subject.

Sir L. Smith

When any of these arrangements are proceeding will my right hon. Friend consider inviting representatives of industries in this country to see what is being done, so that they may learn something of the details?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

Yes, Sir, I will willingly do that.
