§ Mr. Gallacherasked the Home Secretary; what progress has been made with the inspection of civilian respirators; and will he take the necessary steps to see that the inspection is completed at the earliest possible moment?
§ Sir J. AndersonThe inspection was initiated by a circular issued on the 6th March, and local authorities were asked to complete it during the next few weeks thereafter. I believe that in most cases this has been done, but the responsibility rests with the individual authorities, who were not asked to make any report to me, and I have no precise information showing how far the inspection has been completed.
