§ Mr. John Ellisasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what details of fires are kept at the fire statistics section of the Building Research Establishment, Borehamwood; and if, by using these statistics, he will publish details and numbers of farm fires, and of resultant deaths of livestock.
§ Dr. SummerskillI have been asked to reply.
Statistics are held of all fires attended by local authority fire brigades in the United Kingdom. Statistics of fires in agricultural buildings, and human casualties resulting from these fires, are published in United Kingdom Fire Statistics. As regards losses of livestock in fires, I would refer my hon. Friend to 267W my reply to his Question of 9th March. —[Vol. 945, col. 725.]
