HC Deb 22 August 1940 vol 364 c1491W
Mr. Naylor

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will take steps to provide, wherever made practicable by the proximity of electric supply, for the better lighting of the huts used in various parts of the country for the accommodation of searchlight and other Army units where lighting is at present restricted to hurricane lamps, which makes normal receation in the long winter nights an impossibility?

Mr. Eden

Electric lighting has been, or is being, provided wherever practicable. In other cases, a new type of oil lamp with duplex burner giving a candle power greatly in excess of the hurricane lamp is to be supplied.
