§ Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLEasked the Minister of Health if he has received any representations as to the cost entailed on districts, especially in the outer London area, through provision against or repression of heath or woodland fires; and whether he will make provision for the recovery of some part of such coat from those who may originate the conflagrations?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI have not received the representations mentioned in the question, although the matter was before the Royal Commission on Fire Brigades and Fire Prevention some years ago. The difficulty about any such suggestion is the practical one of discovering who did originate a conflagration.
