HC Deb 10 May 1916 vol 82 cc675-6W
Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that many householders at the West End of London have failed to provide dark blinds for the top-storey windows of their houses; and will he give such instructions to the police as will ensure the letter of the law being observed in this respect?

Mr. SAMUEL

The police endeavour to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Lighting Order both in the spirit and the letter. The provision of dark blinds is not compulsory if the lights are adequately screened.
