§ Lieut.-Colonel RUDKINasked the Home Secretary if he is aware of the dangerous nature of the material which caused the disaster at Slades Green on the 18th February; and whether any appropriate steps have since been taken to render the quantities of similar material still lying at the factory innocuous?
Mr. GRAHAMI have been asked to answer this question. I am aware of the nature of the material, but I would point out that the accident on 18th February last occurred during the breaking down of material and this process is not being carried on at present. I am informed that the material in question is being stored under safe conditions.
