HC Deb 21 October 1912 vol 42 cc1703-4
54. Mr. REMNANT

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of recent fires in London and elsewhere, he can see his way to introduce legislation prohibiting the stacking of timber in yards or buildings adjoining hospitals or other large institutions?

The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. McKenna)

I am in communication with the London County Council, and will inform the hon. Member of the result in due course.

Mr. REMNANT

If the right hon. Gentleman is satisfied that things are in a bad condition, will he move at once in this matter?

Mr. McKENNA

I am moving now.

Mr. REMNANT

It is taking a long; time.
