§ Sir N. Grattan-Doyleasked the Home Secretary whether he can state the number of persons volunteering for service as air-raid wardens during the past few weeks?
§ Mr. LloydI regret that the returns which I have obtained from the local authorities do not make it possible to distinguish those wardens who have volunteered during the past few weeks.
§ Sir N. Grattan-Doyleasked the Home Secretary what is the number of air-raid wardens enrolled; what number have now been trained; what number are under instruction; and what further number of enrolments is required?
§ Mr. LloydThere are still 20 out of 236 areas for which figures are not yet available, but the 216 returns received show just over 200,000 wardens enrolled and nearly 50,000 trained, with a further 58,000 under training. A minimum of 200,000 further enrolments are required.
Mr. Jenkinsasked the Home Secretary whether he can supply the number of central anti-gas school certificates granted under air-raid precautions in this country and similar information for Monmouthshire?
§ Mr. Lloyd2,390 certificates have been granted by the civilian anti-gas schools: of these, 15 have gone to persons in Monmouthshire. There will be one student from Monmouthshire in each of the next three courses at the Falfield School.
