§ Mr. Butcherasked the Home Secretary whether he is satisfied that the small canvas bag provided with the civilian duty respirator is the best means of protecting the respirator from accidental injury and especially damage from damp; and whether, as opportunity offers, he will replace it by a sturdier and more convenient container?

§ Sir J. AndersonYes, Sir. I am satisfied that the haversack provided is suitable for this respirator, which is not easily damaged and will not be affected by a moderate amount of damp. I could not justify the expense of replacing the present haversacks before they wear out.
