§ Sir J. LONSDALEasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if it has now been decided to give public warning of the approach of hostile aircraft; and, if so, will he state the nature of the arrangements that have been made?
Mr. SAMUELArrangements have been made by which theatres, music-halls, cinemas, etc., will, if desired, be warned of an apprehended air raid, in order to afford an opportunity for the audience to disperse. For reasons which have already been explained to the House, it is not proposed to give a general public warning in the London area.
