HC Deb 07 August 1947 vol 441 c196W
93. Mr. Lennox-Boyd

asked the Secretary of State for War whether in view of the further fatal accident in Bedfordshire when a youth was killed by exploding ammunition at Sandy, he will take immediate steps to see that the ammunition dumps in this county are speedily removed.

Mr. Bellenger

This ammunition is part of a large Field Storage Depot, which is being cleared of ammunition as fast as possible. Provided no hold-up of rail wagons or other unforeseen circumstances arise I hope that clearance of the ammunition will be completed by the end of this year.
