HC Deb 04 July 1917 vol 95 c1094
31. Mr. BILLING

asked the Under secretary of State for War whether a number of shells recently fired in this country from anti-aircraft guns failed to explode; and whether any inquiry has been held on the matter?

Mr. MACPHERSON

It would not be in the public interest to give this information.

Mr. BILLING

Will the hon. Gentleman, in the public interest, see that it does not occur again?
