HC Deb 13 February 1917 vol 90 c432
21. Mr. KING

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether an inquiry has been made into the circumstances at tending the raid on the office of Sir Theodore Cooke; and whether the in ventor of the explosive, in developing which Sir Theodore Cooke has been active, has been detained in this country against his will and with no charge being made against him?

Mr. MACPHERSON

I answered that question yesterday.

Mr. PRINGLE

Has the War Office come to any decision regarding the nature of the inquiry?

Mr. MACPHERSON

No. I hope we shall come to a decision this afternoon.
