§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Lord Privy Seal whether, as a stimulus to the recruitment of women for whole-time service in war as air-raid precautions volunteers and in auxiliary firemen's work, he will consider the granting of equal pay, particularly, as the sum in question paid to men is by no means large and the amount to women 33⅓ per cent. less?
§ Sir J. AndersonI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given yesterday to a similar question by my hon. Friend the Member for Stourbridge (Mr. R. Morgan).
§ Mr. W. R. Duckworthasked the Lord Privy Seal whether he will consider the organisation of a travelling exhibition of air-raid precautions products, with a view to stimulating public interest and diffusing general knowledge?
§ Sir J. AndersonExhibitions generally, including the particular question of a travelling unit, are under consideration in connection with A.R.P. publicity. A display of air-raid shelters is on view at the present time at Charing Cross Underground station.
§ Lieut.-Colonel Heneageasked the Lord Privy Seal whether, in consultation with the President of the Board of Education regarding the provision of protective measures in schools, he is also taking into account the advantage of providing shelters for grammar schools and universities to which scholars are sent by State and local government-aided scholarships?
§ Sir J. AndersonNo special arrangements are contemplated in respect of scholarship holders, since they would share in the general protective measures taken for the institution as a whole.
