Mr. Davidsonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) the total number of gas-mask storage centres now established in Scotland; and the total cost of storage up-to-date in Scotland;
(2) whether he will state the total number of gas-mask distributive centres now established in Scotland; where they are situated; and the Home Office estimate of the number still required?
§ Mr. ElliotOne large regional supply depot is to be established in Scotland with a total capacity of about 3,000,000 gas masks, but the location of the depot has not yet been definitely settled. The scheme for distribution from this depot is still under consideration and no centres for distribution purposes have yet been set up. No estimate can at present be given as to the total number of such centres that will be required.
