§ Mr. Mayhewasked the Minister of Supply if he is aware of the nuisance caused to residents in Woolwich by the burning of stocks of cordite in the Royal Arsenal; and what action he proposes to take.
§ Mr. Aubrey JonesThe programme of work, from which the burning of ammunition fillings is inseparable, employs a large number of workers and I am reluctant to terminate it prematurely. Every effort is made to minimise inconvenience to local residents.
