HC Deb 16 March 1883 vol 277 cc701-2
SIR STAFFORD NORTHCOTE

I wish to ask the right hon. Gentleman at the head of the Government whether there is any further information in their possession which they can properly communicate to the House with regard to the explosion at the Government Offices on the previous evening?

MR. GLADSTONE

I have been in communication very recently with my right hon. and learned Friend the Home Secretary, and I have also been to the spot where the occurrence took place, and seen those who are connected with the Office; but there is no further information that can be communicated to the House.
