88. Mr. DOYLEasked the President of the Board of Trade, in view of the divided expert opinions as to the cause of the disaster at Louth, if he will arrange for a scientific investigation in order, where possible, to enable other crowded districts to take steps to effectually protect themselves against any possible similar disaster?
§ Dr. ADDISONI have been asked to answer this question. I understand that the Meteorological Office have already undertaken an inquiry into the meteorological aspects of this occurrence. If anything is discovered which would enable local authorities to take any steps likely to be useful in the event of any similar occurrence, it will, of course, be made known to them.
