§ 82. Mr. Remnantasked the Secretary of State for War what safety precautions are taken in siting armouries and magazines in War Department establishments.
§ Mr. F. MacleanThe siting of armouries and magazines depends upon local geography and conditions but certain broad principles are followed. They are sited so as to permit continuous supervision by guards and as necessary are protected by locks, bars, wire, etc. At the same time safety rules must be observed and magazines must not be situated too close to living quarters.
