HC Deb 13 August 1940 vol 364 c620W
Mr. Dodd

asked the Home Secretary whether his Department has collected information as to the effect of the explosions of bombs during air-raids upon different classes of buildings and upon different kinds of protection of buildings and glass; whether any research has been carried out into the value of different classes of protection of buildings and glass; whether such results are now available; and, if so, will he issue a report thereon, giving full details of the results and researches with such further recommendations as he may deem desirable in order that firms and persons may be able to judge whether the protective measures they have already taken are adequate?

Sir J. Anderson

The answer to the first part of the Question is in the affirmative. As regards the latter part I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave on 25th July to a Question by the hon. Member for Stoke-on-Trent (Mr. E. Smith).
