§ Sir G. Gibsonasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that air-raid precautions wardens, some of them enrolled as far back as 1938, have very 484W little equipment, and when these wardens are likely to have the necessary full equipment, in particular steel helmets and civilian duty respirators, provided?
§ Mr. MabaneNo wardens on the authorised establishment of local authorities should be without the necessary authorised equipment, for full issues have been made, including steel helmets and civilian duty respirators, to all local authorities. Additional supplies are being made available as rapidly as possible to provide for a margin above the establishment authorised.
