Mr. HUGH EDWARDSasked the Under-Secretary of State for War what measures are being taken to deal with outbreaks of fire in the London area in the event of a Zeppelin raid; and what steps have been taken to utilise the proffered services of the various Volunteer Corps in this connection?
§ Mr. McKENNAMy right hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. I am not prepared to state the measures devised for dealing with the contingency referred to or to say more than that those measures are the outcome of most careful consideration by all the authorities concerned. It is not, I am informed, possible to utilise the various Volunteer Corps in this connection.
