Mr Patrick Mercer (Newark, Conservative)
I am most grateful to my hon. Friend for his useful and informed intervention. I answer his question by referring to a campaign called Firewatch, which is being conducted in the east midlands by the fire brigades, with a view to doing exactly what he has just mentioned. It aims to ensure that children understand how to react–probably counter-intuitively–and his suggestion is sensible and practical.
