HC Deb 08 July 1983 vol 45 c195W
Mr. Farr

asked the Secretary of State for Defence (1) when he expects the review he is conducting into fire protection methods in the three services to be completed; and if a copy of this, with its recommendations, will be placed in the Library;

(2) to what extent sprinklers for use against fire are installed in the principal stores containing highly inflammable uniforms and other equipment of all three services; and whether there is any other major store in a similar situation to the 10 acre stole at Donnington, Shropshire, in being without any sprinkler protection;

(3) if his review into fire prevention methods of the three services will include an analysis of those stores still retaining asbestos roofs of contents of a type which is hazardous to health when ignited;

(4) if he will list those major equipment stores of all three services that are both without sprinkler protection and with asbestos roofing of a type which is hazardous to health when ignited.

Mr. Stanley

I shall answer shortly.
