§ MR. PICKERSGILL (Bethnal Green, S.W.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he can now state the result of his inquiry as to the recent bombardment of Cranmere Pool, Dartmoor; and, in particular, whether any measures were taken to warn pedestrians approaching the pool from the direction of Chagford?
§ *MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANPrecautious, which have hitherto been found sufficient, were taken. Danger flags were hoisted in the usual places, and in addition advertisements were inserted in the local papers; and a shepherd, a keen-sighted man, employed as a range clearer, was posted on Steeperton Tor, which lies between Chagford and Cranmere Pool. As, however, these precautions do not appear to have been sufficient, the General Officer Commanding the Western District will be instructed to take further precautions in future.
