§ 33. Sir H. O'Neillasked the Home Secretary whether he will consider publishing further details about air raids on this country in such a way as, while not giving information to the enemy, will enable the public both here and abroad to realise the extent of this form of warfare against Britain, to appreciate the conduct of the air-raid precautions organisation and the civilian population, and to learn about any outstanding examples of heroism or devotion to duty?
§ Sir J. AndersonI am considering these questions, in consultation with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Air. But I can say at once that I will certainly arrange for the publication of particulars of outstanding examples of heroism or devotion to duty, and I would draw my right hon. Friend's attention to the announcement which appeared in the "London Gazette" on 30th July of the award of the Medal of the Order of the British Empire for meritorious service to Warden Donald Louis Jones of the Air-Raid Precautions Service, Kent.
§ Sir H. O'NeillI take it that it will be possible to circulate some kind of details which will give an idea of how the civilian population are meeting these very trying conditions?
§ Sir J. AndersonI hope to be able to do that.
