HC Deb 06 February 1940 vol 357 c8
15. Mr. Vernon Bartlett

asked the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been drawn to a recent fatal fire at an Eastern County camp in which, according to one witness, the flames spread from hut to hut almost as quickly as a man could walk; and is a regulation distance maintained between wooden huts now in course of erection?

Sir V. Warrender

The answer to both parts of the Question is in the affirmative.
