Is my hon. Friend aware that there are reports from within his Department to the effect that ammunition and other military store boxes have been accumulated at a number of depots and have been left in the open for a period of upwards of two years? Will he look into this, and give an assurance that some system will be applied whereby reports on these matters will be encouraged to be brought forward for consideration and acted upon to prevent deterioration of such stores?
