ANTI-GLARE: COKE OVENS Memorandum by the Home Secretary and Minister of Home Security

18 Jan 1945

It -2- H. M. remains to consider the repercussions of such a ###elaxation. If granted to coke ovens it could not be with- held from other vital glare-producing plant, such as iron and ###teel furnaces, and, such glare being of a more intense character than any lighting, the retention of restrictions on lighting, and in particular industrial lighting, would create an anomaly which it would be scarcely possible to refend. The relaxation of restrictions on coke ovens would ###hus lead almost inevitably to the abrogation of all ###estrictions, which is not justified by the present ###trategical position.
