HC Deb 31 May 1883 vol 279 c1316
MR. DONALDSON-HUDSON

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether a licence which was given to Mr. L. E. Morgan, of Bland Street, Moss Side, Manchester, to keep 10 lbs. of explosives for the purpose of an exhibition with experiments showing the various properties of explosives at Victoria Gardens, Tetley, near Sheffield, was subsequently revoked; and, if so, for what reason?

SIR WILLIAM HARCOURT

Sir, these are matters entirely in the hands of the local authorities, who are responsible. I suppose that it was not convenient at the time that the exhibition should be held.
