§ Mr. Dayasked the Lord Privy Seal what provisions have been made by the Government by which members of the civilian population will be able to protect themselves against vesicants in liquid form in the case of air raids; and whether it is proposed to issue protective clothing to the civilian population at public expense?
§ Sir J. AndersonIt is not proposed to issue protective clothing to the civilian population at the public expense. Members of the public need run little risk of coming into contact with vesicants in liquid form if they take cover when an air-raid warning is given and do not emerge, if gas has been used, until the air-raid wardens have either signalled that the particular area is clear or have indicated which parts of it are contaminated.
