§ 82. Mr. Palmerasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will, in the interest of public safety, either remove or securely guard dumps of ammunition still remaining in the county of Surrey.
§ Mr. LawsonAs regards the removal of ammunition dumps generally I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave to the hon. and gallant Member for Devizes (Squadron-Leader Hollis) on 28th January. Ammunition stored in the South-Eastern counties including Surrey has been given priority for disposal, as this area is more thickly populated and attracts more visitors than most of the other areas affected. Every effort is made to provide adequate guards for ammunition dumps within the limits imposed by the manpower available. The more dangerous material is segregated in wired areas and closely guarded, while patrols and sentries arc provided for the remainder.
