HC Deb 08 August 1940 vol 364 c435W
Mr. J. Griffiths

asked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that many local authorities in the unspecified areas find it impossible to carry out the instructions issued by him in a recent circular to assist householders to protect their homes against air raids, owing to the shortage of the necessary materials; and what steps he is taking to make these materials available for this purpose?

Sir J. Anderson

I am aware of the difficulties referred to and all possible steps are being taken to mitigate them.
