Abstract
ON August 2 last, an advisory committee on camouflage by the use of paint, was appointed by the Government, which agreed that it should include a scientific member. Sir John Graham Kerr asked the Home Secretary on October 19 how many meetings this committee had held since its formation. Sir John Anderson, in reply, stated that the first meeting of the committee was held on October 18. In reply to a supplementary question, Sir John Anderson said that “the committee has been so constituted as to bring to bear on this important question of camouflage the opinions of many people who held differing, views on the theoretical and practical aspects of the question. The reference to the committee is very wide, and I have no doubt that the committeo will be in a position to address itself to the question”. No explanation was offered of the lengthy delay between the setting up of this committee and its first meeting.
