§ Mr. Bullasked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the danger to the working population from splintered glass, in the event of air raids, he will make compulsory the reinforcing of glass windows in large buildings, factories, etc., by the use either of tape or cellophane; and whether he will make this provision also apply to all forms of motor vehicles which are not fitted with safety glass?
§ Mr. MabaneAdvice has been issued on this matter, and I am anxious to secure that in all appropriate cases the measures recommended should be put into practice in so far as this has not already been done. It has to be remembered, however, that the majority of workers will go to shelter on a warning, and I do not think that an immediate and general obligation with its consequent demands on labour and material would be warranted at the present time. As regards the last part of the Question, my right hon. Friend the Minister of Transport is considering how far it may be practicable to adopt the hon. Member's suggestions.
