HC Deb 25 March 1942 vol 378 c2016W
Sir J. Graham Kerr

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that vehicles and ether objects of military importance are still to be seen which, although painted in two colours, are devoid of the violent contrast in tone upon which the effectiveness of this type of camouflage, except at short distances, depends; that certain foreign Powers are making use of this originally British type of camouflage correctly carried out; and whether, if in the public interest, he is prepared to make a statement?

Mr. Sandys

The principles to which my hon. Friend refers are well understood and fully applied under appropriate conditions. It would not, however, be in the public interest to make any precise statement about the methods of camouflage employed in the British Army.
