§ 42. Mr. Sorensenasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many fire brigades exist in Nigeria; and, in view of serious fires in the Colonies, whether the provision of adequate fire services has received consideration recently in Nigeria and other colonial areas.
§ Mr. J. GriffithsI am confident that colonial governments constantly review their need in this matter but it is not one on which they are expected to keep me informed. I am asking the Governor of Nigeria for particulars in respect of that Territory and will write to my hon. Friend when I have the reply.
