§ 57. Lieutenant-Colonel CLAUDE LOWTHERasked whether, in view of the danger to the industries and trade of this country through the menace of lightning strikes which would provide an opportunity for Bolshevist agitation, he will be willing to receive at an early date a deputation from the National Security Union and other institutions formed to combat this specific danger?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWThe Government are fully alive to the dangers indicated in the question, and I do not think that any Useful purpose would be served by seeing such a deputation as is suggested.
§ Mr. DEVLINWill the right hon. Gentleman inform the House what is a lightning strike?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI certainly cannot give the hon. Member any information, but I should think that it meant a strike that occurred without notice.
