§ 17. Mr. Cocksasked the Home Secretary whether he will arrange for a five minutes gas mask drill, to be given through the British Broadcasting Corporation, at a certain time each week, say, immediately before or after the 9 0'clock news, so that, at a given signal, every listener-in throughout the country should be asked to put on his respirator and follow the instructions given over the wireless?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonI am considering my hon. Friend's proposal.
§ Mr. A. EdwardsWill the right hon. Gentleman consider the example of the Middlesbrough Chief Constable, who has his men work in their gas masks for a period every day?
§ Mr. MorrisonYes, Sir, it will be taken into account.
§ Mr. BaxterIf this suggestion is tried, might it not be advisable to try it just before the Priestley broadcast?
