§ Mr. Simmondsasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that air-raid wardens in certain districts are preventing retail shops from continuing business during public air-raid warnings; and whether he will make a statement on this subject?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonI am not aware that air-raid wardens have been stopping shopkeepers from doing business after the sounding of the alert. I am however considering whether it is necessary to revise the present instructions as to the advice which air-raid wardens should give to pedestrians generally on the sounding of the alert.
§ Mr. Simmondsasked the Home Secretary whether industry is now intended to be observing the proposals for continued work during public air-raid warnings announced by him on 10th September.
§ Mr. MorrisonThe answer is in the affirmative.
