Mr. Creech Jonesasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is satisfied with the use of corrugated asbestos sheets as roofing for Army hutments and how they react to fire; and what was the experience of them as roofs of the Militia hutments in the fire at an East Coast camp on 5th January of this year?
§ Mr. StanleyCorrugated asbestos sheets are considered satisfactory as roofing for Army hutments. They do not ignite readily, and in no way contributed to the spread of the fire in the case referred to.
