§ 74. Mr. Woodburnasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that people in many areas get no opportunity of taking shelter during actual air raids owing to the failure to sound the sirens while on other occasions they receive the warning of a possible raider; whether this apparent confusion of warnings could be avoided, by the sounding of the warning on all occasions, leaving it to the decision of individuals and organisations whether or when they should act upon a warning and whether he will tell the public what is the policy regarding warnings?
§ Sir J. AndersonDiscussions on this subject have been proceeding for some time, and I hope to be in a position in the course of the next few days to issue a statement supplementing what I said on 2nd July in answer to a Question by the hon. Member for Duddeston (Mr. Simmonds). That being so, I think it better that I should not attempt to deal with this somewhat complicated issue within the limits of an answer to a Question.
