HC Deb 08 October 1946 vol 427 cc12-3
25. Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware that the siren is still being used in works and factories for assembly and dismissal purposes; and if, in view of its disturbing effect on public morale, he will take immediate steps to prohibit its further use.

Mr. Westwood

I am aware of this practice but I have no power to prohibit it. If my hon. Friend will let me know of any particular case he has in mind, I shall be glad to consider whether anything can be done about it.
