§ Mr. Humphrey Atkinsasked the Secretary of State for Defence, what action he is taking following the incident on 20 April in the vicinity of the Army firing ranges at Pirbright when Mrs Sheila Wenham of Sunbury-on-Thames was shot in the head; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. WigginsAll firing at Ash ranges was suspended immediately following the incident to enable the police to pursue their inquiries. Pending the outcome of an Army board of inquiry into the incident firing will not be permitted on the range from which the shot may have come. I shall decide whether changes of procedure are necessary in the light of the findings of the board of inquiry.
