Following upon the 14th Report from the Select Committee on National Expenditure, the whole subject of the protection of vital targets and areas by concealment and deception has been reviewed by a committee under the chairmanship of the Parliamentary Secretary, my hon. Friend the Member for Huddersfield (Mr. Mabane). The Advisory Committee on Camouflage has not met during the present year, but its technical committee, including those responsible for camouflage in the various Services and Departments, met regularly throughout the year at intervals of about a fortnight, until it was superseded by a newly constituted Camouflage Committee under the chairmanship of the Director of Camouflage.
