HC Deb 11 September 1941 vol 374 cc332-3W
Colonel Mitchell

asked the Home Secretary how many tons of material have been removed from the inflammable dump, of which he knows, since 7th August; and whether any fresh material has been added during the same period?

Mr. H. Morrison

About 150 tons of material have been removed from the dump in question since the 7th August. Difficulty of access has hampered the rate of clearance, but the labour and transport available have now been substantially reinforced. I am assured that no deliveries have been made during this period.
