QUESTIONS IN PARLIAMENT. Anti-Aircraft Service. MAJOR DAVIES in the House of Commons on January 28th asked the Under-secretary of State for War whether it is intended to replace night-time volun- teers engaged upon anti-aircraft work by whole-time men on active service ;whether the efficiency of the anti-aircraft service in London is prejudiced by the employment of part-time men; and, if not, whether, having regard to thedemands of the Army on the man-power of the country, the services of part-time men can be continued ?Mr. Macpherson : In regard to the first and second parts of the question, I would refer my hon. and gallant friend to the answer given on the 23rd instantto my hon. friend the member for Haggerston. The answer to the last part is in the negative for the reasons given, except to the extent to which it is pro-posed still to employ part-time men for duties which can be performed efficiently by them. These part-time men are not volunteers, but belong to the NavalVolunteer Reserve, and are paid as such. Air Raids (Ste el Helmets). Mx. MURRAY MACDONALD asked the Secretary of State for the Home De- partment whether steel hetawts are supplied to every member of the special constabulary force within the Metropolitan area ; whether the existing supplyis kept at the headquarters of each district; whether members of the force, when summoned during an air raid, have to make their way from their homesto their headquarters exposed to risks often as great as those to which they are exposed when actually on their stations ; and, seeing that it is the duty of theGovernment to protect them, so far as possible, from these risks by providing helmets, will he see that every member of the force is so provided with a helmetwhich he may take to his own home ? Sir G. Cave : A supply of helmets is kept at each police station for the use ofsuch members of the regular and special constabulary and air raid relief parties as may be sent out when the guns are firing or likely to fire. Helmets are notissued to the regular or special police as part of their general equipment, and the circumstances would not justify such a general issue. Mr. Macdonald: Is the right hon. gentleman aware that these men areexposed to serious risks when summoned on the occasion of an air raid in going from their homes to the headquarters ? Sir.G. Cave : No doubt that is a statement of fact, but the men have warningsome time before the raid occurs. 158
