HC Deb 22 August 1940 vol 364 cc1446-7
37. Commander King-Hall

asked the Home Secretary what are the arrangements whereby instances of courage and devotion to duty by men, women and children during air-raids are brought to the notice of the appropriate authorities with a view to the award of an honour in suitable cases?

Sir J. Anderson

I have asked Regional Commissioners to make arrangements to ensure that A.R.P. Controllers will bring to their notice acts of gallantry by members of the general public, as well as by members of the Civil Defence Services during air raids.
