HC Deb 23 May 1940 vol 361 cc286-7
17. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Home Secretary whether he has any further information to give the House respecting the value and use of fluorescent and phosphorescent articles and paint in connection with air-raid precautions; and whether the special committee investigating the matter has yet issued any report or made proposals?

Sir J. Anderson

Member, a committee has been set up to investigate the question of luminescent materials, and the possibilities of their application for air-raid precautions purposes. This committee is actively pursuing its inquiries, but the committee is not yet in a position to issue a report, or to formulate proposals.
