HC Deb 23 November 1914 vol 68 cc794-5
106. Sir J. D. REES

asked whether any and, if so, what action has been taken in the case of Mr. Budd, an employé of Messrs. Siemens, who was concerned in the charge under the Official Secrets Act brought against Mr. Tomlin, sub-post master of Eastchurch?

Mr. McKENNA

I am informed by the Director of Public Prosecutions that no proceedings were taken against Mr. Budd because there was no evidence of his having committed any criminal offence. The charge against Mr. Tomlin was not proceeded with for a similar reason.
