§ Mr. J. Griffithsasked the Lord Privy Seal whether he can state the number of gas masks delivered to the County of 1507W Carmarthenshire; and whether he can explain the delay in supplying the county with the number required?
§ Sir J. Anderson:169,840 civilian respirators were despatched to Carmarthenshire to-day, delivery having been deferred in accordance with the policy explained in the answer which I gave on the 6th April to a question by the hon. Member for Cumberland, North (Mr. W. Roberts). In addition, the county council received some time ago 329 service respirators and 455 civilian duty respirators towards the requirements of air-raid precautions services in the county, and other issues have also been made to the police forces in the county.
