§ 66. Mr. Silkinasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that the air-raid warning in London, on 25th June, was inaudible to many people; and whether he will arrange for a more audible warning in future?
§ Sir J. AndersonThe representations which I have received about the audibility of the air-raid sirens are divided, almost equally, between those suggesting that the sirens are too loud and those suggesting that they are not loud enough. It appears, therefore, that we have struck the golden mean.
§ Mr. SilkinIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that many people did not hear the warning signal at all but heard only the raiders passed signal?
§ Sir J. AndersonWhere the sirens are found to be inadequate, they are being supplemented by further ones.
