HC Deb 08 February 1915 vol 69 c241
67. Mr. INGLEBY

asked the Under-Secretary for War if he can state how many Zeppelins raided the East Coast on 19th January; whether the Zeppelins were accompanied by motor-cars; if so, whether he can give the number of such cars; and whether any of them have been identified or any of their occupants arrested?

Mr. TENNANT

It is not in the public interest to give the information which may be in possession of the Department regarding the first point. The other points are being further investigated, and I hope to be able to give an answer shortly.

Mr. INGLEBY

Would it not be possible to ensure more complete co-operation between the military and police, especially in certain country districts on the East Coast, so that each may know to what extent it can rely on the other, and, therefore, be prepared to deal effectively—[HON. MEMBERS: "Order, Order."]

Mr. TENNANT

We will endeavour to do so.
