§ 58. Mr. Simmondsasked the Home Secretary what modifications he has decided to make in regard to the obligations which he has placed upon women for fire-watching on business premises?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonI am considering whether any modifications in regard to this and other matters in the Fire Prevention Orders are called for, but I am not at present in a position to make any statement on the subject.
§ Mr. SimmondsWhile considering this matter, will my right hon. Friend bear in mind particularly the rather more objectionable form of incendiary bomb which is now being used and which requires the whole view of the Department towards fire watching to be reviewed?
§ Mr. MorrisonYes, Sir, but we have dealt with that, and suitable advice has been issued. We have still to fight fires and prevent them as much as we can.
§ Mr. MathersWhen does my right hon. Friend expect to announce his decision?
§ Mr. MorrisonI do not know.
