HC Deb 10 May 1939 vol 347 c490W
Mr. Graham Kerr

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether the section responsible for conducting investigations into the problems of camouflage includes in its membership any person of recognised standing in the specialised department of biology concerned; and whether, in addition to being available for consultation by those responsible for carrying out camouflage in the various services, the section in question is empowered to give guidance and direction when, in its opinion, this would be conducive to increased efficiency?

Sir J. Anderson

The Camouflage Experimental Section for which I am now responsible does not include a biologist; but, as my hon. Friend has already been informed, it is in a position to obtain advice from biologists. The section is available to give guidance to the Service Departments on problems they may put to it, but it is an advisory section and is not in a position to give them directions.
