§ Mr. KEELINGasked the Home Secretary what steps he proposes to take to protect against air raids the citizens of the 14 areas the local authorities of which have declined to co-operate with the Government in providing such protection?
§ Mr. LLOYDThese areas will have the benefit of such preparations, affecting the whole country, as are made by the Government: but that cannot compensate for the failure of any district which is liable to attack to take effective measures on its own account, and my right hon. Friend trusts that all local authorities will see their way to co-operate with the Government in this matter.
