§ 65. Mr. Lipsonasked the Home Secretary what the civilian population is to do when an aerial combat takes place over a town when no warning siren has been sounded since no all-clear signal is given in those circumstances?
§ Sir J. AndersonPeople who have taken shelter in the circumstances described should remain under cover until they judge from the cessation of air activity that the danger is over.
§ Mr. LipsonIs my right hon. Friend aware that children are not in a condition to judge and that the circumstances which I have in mind occur when children are on their way to school and do not know when it is safe to come out? Will he not give some instructions?
§ Sir J. AndersonThe best answer I can give to that question is that the police and members of the Air-Raid Precautions Services will give all the guidance they can.
§ Mr. LipsonWould my right hon. Friend issue a circular to them?
§ Sir J. AndersonI will consider whether further instructions are necessary.
