HC Deb 05 July 1917 vol 95 c1318W
7. Mr. HINDS

asked the Home Secretary whether he will announce at an early date the intentions of the Government as to lighting restrictions during the coming autumn and winter; and whether, in the event of the restrictions being renewed, it will be found practicable to fix settled monthly times for darkening throughout the country as in London, instead of daily alterations regulated by the hour of sunset?

Sir G. CAVE

An announcement with regard to the lighting restrictions during the autumn and winter will be made in due course if any modification of the existing orders is considered desirable. I will consider the suggestion in the latter part of the question.
