§ 29. Sir Francis Fremantleasked the Home Secretary whether he will arrange for the Royal Air Force in all non-operational flights in this country to report on any buildings defectively camouflaged to the Regional Commissioner or Minister of Home Security?
§ The Joint Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Home Security (Mr. Mabane)Observation for the purpose of camouflage cannot be undertaken 1806 casually. At present the R.A.F. cooperate in the manner suggested by my hon. Friend by providing flying facilities for expert observation in close and constant contact with the Director of Camouflage. These arrangements are at present being extended.
§ Sir F. FremantleDoes my hon. Friend realise that in ordinary flights the air officers often find that the buildings which they are most able to see are those that are supposed to have been camouflaged and are wrongly camouflaged? Surely that information could be made useful?
§ Mr. MabaneThis is a matter of observation, and casual observations of the character mentioned really could not be taken into account.
