§ Mr. Grovesasked the Home Secretary whether air-raid wardens are, and will continue to be provided with whistles and rattles to announce to the people any immediate gas attack; and whether such equipment is always in the possession of such wardens?
§ Sir J. AndersonLocal authorities are authorised to provide wardens with whistles and rattles according to local requirements. Whistles are used to supplement the air-raid warning signals and may be retained in the wardens' personal possession. Rattles are used to give warning of gas danger and should be kept at the wardens' post.
