HC Deb 05 December 1955 vol 547 c5
6. Sir R. Grimston

asked the Minister of Supply what steps he takes to ensure that design specifications and drawings produced to his requirements are safely guarded from civil, fire and war risks during the time they remain in the possession of his contractors.

Mr. Erroll

The general responsibility for safe custody must necessarily rest on the contractors who are holding the documents. My right hon. Friend is considering whether any special instructions should be given to them.
