§ 28. Mr. Blenkinsopasked the Secretary of State for War what check is made on military personnel regularly carrying luminous compasses, and on those in charge of these compasses in store, to ensure that there is no danger from radiation.
§ Mr. SoamesMedical examinations are included among the protective measures which have been introduced for storemen and others who handle radioactive articles in bulk. It is not necessary to extend these precautions to soldiers carrying single compasses.
§ Mr. BlenkinsopWould the Minister say whether there has been any evidence of overdosing by radiation caused by these compasses, because there is anxiety about this in quarters that ought to know?
§ Mr. SoamesI have no information on that, but these precautions are being taken.
