§ Sir W. Smilesasked the Lord Privy Seal whether a practice blackout has been arranged for the whole country during the month of July?
§ Sir J. AndersonThere is no present proposal for a blackout to cover the whole country at one time. In connection with the two Royal Air Force exercises to be held in July, which will between them cover the greater part of England, the local authorities have been given the opportunity of co-operating by arranging blackouts if they so desire. Further, in connection with the main Royal Air Force exercise to be held in August, it is hoped to arrange a complete blackout over an area including the Eastern, Midland and Southern Counties as well as London.
