Scope and content

Contains a report by Lord Chatfield which shows that fewer people than estimated leave Southampton and Portsmouth at night to avoid air raids. The report also disproves allegations that morale in those towns is low. However, numbers of people leaving the towns at night can be expected to rise if serious raids occur. Butler summarises Chatfield's recommendations.
