§ 39. Mr. Wedgwoodasked the Prime Minister what exactly is to be the alarm signal for invasion; whether anything is to precede the church bells, especially in London; and whether those in the Services or civilians are to receive any general advice as to action or inaction, whether by day or night, whether at work or at home.
§ The Prime MinisterMy right hon. Friend may be sure that these matters are not neglected, but I hardly think that they are conveniently dealt with at the present moment by Question and Answer in the House.
§ Mr. WedgwoodThe right hon. Gentleman realises, I hope, that it is 1222 urgently important that civilians as well as military people should know what the signal would be?
§ The Prime MinisterAt the proper moment that information will be imparted.
§ Mr. ThorneWill the right hon. Gentleman consider the advisability of broadcasting as soon as he knows that there is an invasion?
§ The Prime MinisterI have no doubt that some public comment may be made about it.
