HC Deb 19 November 1942 vol 385 c490
37. Sir Robert Rankin

asked the Home Secretary whether he is satisfied that, in the special areas of the Regional Commissioners, the fire departments are making full use of the special knowledge and experience of the local technical committees set up by the Fire Offices Committee to advise in respect to fire prevention and surveys?

Mr. H. Morrison

When a few months ago the Fire Offices Committee put at the disposal of the Ministry of Home Security the services of their Regional Technical Committee, I asked Regional Commissioners to call upon these Committees for advice in all suitable cases. I am glad to be able to say that many of these Committees have rendered valuable assistance both to Regional Commissioners and the Departments responsible for the storage of commodities.
