Mr. Graham Kerrasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether, in view of the highly specialised biological knowledge necessary to secure full advantage from certain forms of war camouflage, he is prepared to set up an advisory body comparable with the camouflage subcommittee of the Committee of Imperial Defence, but including in its membership 1165W persons of recognised authority on the biological principles involved, which shall be available to afford advice and guidance to those responsible for carrying out camouflage work in the four Services, Air, Army, Navy and Civil Defence?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonThere is already in existence a special section responsible for conducting investigations into the problems of camouflage, including the biological principles involved, and this section is in a position to obtain advice at any time from those whose special knowledge can contribute to the progress of those investigations. This is a Research Section supported jointly by the four Services to which my hon. Friend refers and it is available for consultation by those responsible for carrying out camouflage in those Services.
