§ 27. Mrs. Middletonasked the Secretary of State for War what arrangements are in operation to provide that practice firing from the shore batteries at Bovisand Fort and Lentney Fort is restricted to those hours when such firing will not be of danger to fishermen at work in that area.
§ Mr. BellengerNo practice firing is carried out from Bovisand Fort. Firing is not permitted from Army guns at Lentney Fort unless the danger area is clear of all vessels except the target launch. It is stopped immediately a vessel enters the danger area. Adequate radar and visual watch is maintained over the danger area and safety launches patrol its boundaries.
