HC Deb 18 July 1940 vol 363 c425W
Mr. Purbrick

asked the Home Secretary whether any steps have been taken to prevent the destruction of our crops at harvest time by enemy action with incendiary bombs?

Sir J. Anderson

The need for such precautions has not been overlooked, and precautions are being taken, in consultation with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries, and with the co-operation of the local fire authorities.
