HC Deb 29 May 1941 vol 371 cc1977-8
20. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Home Secretary whether he intends to take any action respecting the recommendation of Home Office Fire Adviser on the provision of roof protective levels; and whether he intends to encourage the adaptation or improvement of roofs as a means of minimising fire danger from incendiary bombs?

Mr. H. Morrison

Advice in regard to this method of protection was given in the amended reprint of Handbook No. 9 "Incendiary Bombs and Fire Precautions" issued in June, 1940, and further action is being taken.

Mr. Sorensen

Can my right hon. Friend indicate more precisely what kind of action is being taken and whether this kind of protection is to be widely applied?

Mr. Morrison

It would not be in the national interest for me to give further details.
